Being the market leader in influencer marketing in Japan, UUUM's head of

sales and global operations director will talk about the latest trends in Japan,

Asia and benefits of influencer marketing in general, as well as showing

a forecast of how global campaigns will shape the marketing industry

in Japan and Asia in the future.

After graduating from university in 2001, Mr. Nakao started his career at a securities firm before transitioning to a digital advertising agency in 2003.  His skill in sales operations, particularly in internet and mobile display, prepared him well for higher management and in 2011 his oversight was spun off as an independent entity from the parent company with him in an executive capacity.

WASABI Insight vol.6 "The Power of Influencer Marketing in Japan" April 26th (Wed) @WorkCentral

                     

 

今回のWASABI Insight は人気You Tuberが多数所属する、今注目のUUUM様をお招きし、"The Power of Influencer Marketing in Japan" を開催いたしました。

 

YouTuber?インフルエンサー??

そもそも「You Tuberって仕事なの?」「インフルエンサーって何?」と思われた方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか。馴染みのない方にとってはどのようなビジネスなのか想像がつかないと思うのですが、驚くことに小学生の将来の夢ランキングで”YouTuber”がサッカー選手や医者に次いで第3位になったということで、ネットでも話題となりました。そんな注目のYouTubeを利用して実際にマーケティングビジネスを行っているのが、UUUM様です。YouTube×インフルエンサーマーケティングの中心に位置する業界初のプラットフォーマーとして、盛り上がりを見せています。

 

UUUMって知っていますか?​

YouTubeはよく見ているけど、UUUMって聞いたことないよ、という方もこれを知ったら驚くかもしれません!UUUM様は、HIKAKIN、はじめしゃちょー、佐々木あさひをはじめとする4,300以上のYouTubeチャンネルに対して、マネジメント、動画制作サポート、オファーなどを提供している会社です。そのシェアでいうと日本TOP10のYou Tuberのうち7名がUMMM様に所属しています。YouTube というテレビCMとは全く別の方法で動画を利用したインフルエンサーマーケティングは予想を上回る影響力をもち、様々な企業とのタイアップが増えているそうです。

 

 

好きなことをして生きている、好きが仕事になる

UMMMで働く方々はYou Tuberをサポートし楽しいことを全力で考えられる人。You Tuber のマネジメントや動画作成サポート、オファーなど直接You Tuberの方と関わりながら仕事をしていくことが多いそうですが、本当に面白い人の集まりだとおっしゃっていました。もちろん動画の題材を考えたり、編集したり、見ていて楽しい動画の裏には色々な地味な作業もあると思うのですが、仕事の根本は“おもしろい”を発信することです。社員もYou Tuberも好きなことを仕事にしているなと感じます、と話す姿は生き生きしていて、その様子がよく伝わってきました。

 

誰でもインフルエンサー!!

インフルエンサーは視聴者に身近なであることがその影響力の秘密です。ということは、YouTube上で何かを発信することで、誰でも今すぐインフルエンサーになりうるということです。芸能人でもなく、プロのお笑い芸人でもなくYouTuberだからできるぴったりの宣伝方法があるということがポイントです。どんな小さな気付きでも、自分だけの趣味だとしても、地道にそれを発信し続けることで少しずつ大きな影響力をもっていく、それがインフルエンサーなのです。わくわくしますね!みなさんもぜひチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。
