A seminar exploring new possibilities for business development, promotion, and human resource development using cultural IP

Source: Peatix

*This event will be held in person only. There will be no online streaming.

Overview

This seminar will explore new possibilities from three perspectives: business development, promotion, and human resource development, by utilizing diverse cultural IP such as department stores, influencers, the metaverse, idols, and gals as a business approach. By combining the strengths of the three companies, we will introduce specific examples, such as launching a new business that utilizes the unique IP each company has cultivated, planning social media video content, and new methods for human resource development. We will provide hints for co-creating new value by linking culture and business, and deliver perspectives that will be useful for corporate growth strategies.
We will also report on the forum to be held in Bangkok, Thailand on August 29th, which will be the first step in the challenge of expanding pop culture overseas.
