The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

As the importance of social media, particularly short-form video platforms such as TikTok, continues to grow, many companies have not brought social media operations in-house or face challenges in achieving results from those operations, driving increased demand for partners with specialized expertise. By bringing 株式会社エッセンスマーケティング, which has a strong track record in social media marketing targeting younger audiences, into the group, NEO MARKETING Inc. aims to establish an integrated support structure combining research, digital marketing, public relations and TikTok operations.
