Paid Media Operation

We plan and run paid media for global brands in Japan — full-funnel, across every major platform, reported in English and Japanese.
We build tailored advertising strategies to achieve your goals—whether it’s increasing brand awareness, driving qualified traffic, or maximizing revenue and ROAS.

Next Level Paid Media Operation
Next Level - Paid media operation on all platforms

Ad Operation on all platforms

We operate Google, Meta, LY Ads (now including former LINE Ads), TikTok, Microsoft Advertising, and Amazon and Rakuten ads.
Certified specialists run every account, with Japan-specific creative.

Next Level - Ad channel mix

Choose the right channel mix

Each platform and ad product serves a different funnel role. We allocate your budget where the incremental growth is: less overlap between channels, upper-funnel demand feeding lower-funnel conversion — online or offline.

Next Level Ad Operation - creative testing

Creative testing and analysis

On social platforms, creatives decide performance more than bidding does. We run structured tests — formats, hooks, Japanese copy variants — and read results at creative level. Winners scale, the rest gets cut.

Next Level measurement and reporting - LINE Hub

Measurement, attribution and reporting

We optimize on your actual revenue data, not just platform-reported conversions: server-side tracking, Shopify sync, new versus returning customers mix.
AI-assisted dashboards add pacing and overspend alerts, creative-level comparison, and anomaly detection. Reporting in Japanese and/or English.

 

Paid Media CTV

Connected TV and new channels

We buy Connected TV through TVer and ABEMA, and programmatic inventory via DSPs. Next Level was awarded TVer BEST Sales 2025. New inventory — ChatGPT Ads most recently — gets tested early.
