Unveiling Our New Graphic Identity and Website

Next Level

April 20, 2024 – Today, for the 14th anniversary of our foundation, we’re proud to unveil our new graphic identity and website. Our previous visual identity was designed in 2019, and this update was much needed. While we will all miss our dear old blue logo and its various flavors since our inception, the new neon lime key color is much more consistent with the innovative image and values that drive us. Our compass, symbolizing growth and North-East Asia, is slightly reshaped, but not going anywhere. The new framework also gives us much more flexibility as we highlight new services or share insights. At last, it’s also a much awaited opportunity to move to dark mode, a mostly more energy-efficient way to display information, and it’s also the occasion to release our first professional green transformation services: B Corp certification support. We hope you like it, feel free to drop us a note about it!

Meta’s Omnichannel Ads: Coming Soon to Japan?

Meta has introduced Omnichannel Ads, a new campaign type designed to drive both online and in-store sales with a single setup. While not yet available in Japan, this will be a key opportunity for D2C, fashion, and luxury brands once launched.

By combining website and offline conversion data, Omnichannel Ads optimize delivery to highlight nearby stores, showcase product availability, and boost foot traffic.

In Japan, where offline retail remains vital, connecting digital ads with in-store results will become essential. Brands should start preparing for advanced measurement and offline conversion tracking to stay ahead.

ChatGPT has introduced a new shopping assistant feature. By simply describing the type of product you’re looking for, the AI can organize and present relevant options based on price, specifications, and user reviews. Products are displayed in a carousel format with images, and users can easily access detailed information and purchase links. The feature supports Japanese, making it accessible for users in Japan as well.

It’s currently rolling out across Plus, Pro, and Free plans, and will soon be available even without a ChatGPT account. Perplexity AI is also offering a similar shopping experience, signaling that AI-powered product discovery could soon become the new standard in online shopping.
