We offer a service called "Connected OOH," which encompasses targeted areas through the integration of Out-Of-Home advertising and smartphones. A part of this service, "Connected Pole Ads," has now been launched in Tokyo's Ginza area. This is the first time such pole ads have been installed in Tokyo.
Despite the increasing trend of utility pole removal, East Ginza remains one of the few areas where poles still exist. This area, stretching north and south of the Kabuki-za Theatre, was historically known as "Kobikicho" and still retains this name in some facilities and roads, adding historical value to the region. Recently, in 2023, it became the setting for a novel that won a prestigious Japanese literary award, bringing the area into the spotlight.
Ginza Fanyi, based in Ginza, specializes in supporting multilingual information dissemination for businesses, primarily in English and Chinese. Their advertising aims to enhance the visibility of Ginza's businesses and stores. Simultaneously, by introducing recommended spots in the Kobikicho area in English and Chinese, their goal is to enable visitors to enjoy the region more deeply through the Connected Pole Ads.
