COVID-19 has placed heavy constraints on traditional sales and live interactions,
dramatically increasing the demand for digital marketing. Contrary to popular thought,
Japan is quickly adopting marketing habits established in the US and Europe that are
optimized for virtual environments. The staggering pace of change in places like Silicon
Valley has led to the advent of buzzwords like MarTech (marketing technology), Fintech,
Edutech, Foodtech, and so on, however, many struggle to keep up with this shifting
landscape, or to understand what tools and best practices are most relevant for the DX
marketing, as it is more commonly known in Japan. In this seminar,, Ms. Kobayashi from
GLOCOM and Mr. Yashwanth Hemaraj from BGV will identify current trends shaping these
evolutions and introduce promising startups that are impacting the MarTech space.
Audiences will then hear directly from the teams operating in the space (see agenda
below). The seminar is primarily geared towards marketing and advertising
professionals operating in Japan, as well as corporate planning and DX promotional
teams. We look forward to seeing you there!

digital marketing tools an enterprise may use to reach and manage customers.
Companies leveraging MarTECH are able to develop their businesses faster and more
effectively by introducing intelligent automation into their marketing stack. In this
seminar, Yashwanth, BGV partner, will introduce and define the MarTECH concept,
which is more important than ever in a post-COVID-19 landscape. He will outline the
current challenges facing marketers today, and discuss the trends and opportunities
that should be noted for the future.
