About us

Our mission and vision

MISSION

To become a platform that truly brings data to everyone, everywhere

VISION

A richer world through data and technology

By sharpening the resolution of data to what you can “feel in your skin,” we aim for a world where everyone can act without second-guessing

What 5SENSE means, and our purpose

We are not a marketing shop— we are a strategy-partner agency.

We design complex market structures, unify fragmented customer touchpoints, and scale your growth as your partner across the full journey.

We close the wide gap between “strategy” and “execution” and help Japanese companies grow globally.

NOT JUST A

Marketing Execution Agency

Not just a marketing execution company

WE ARE A

Strategic Partner & Market Design Firm

A strategy-partner agency

Challenges in the conventional agency model

Strategy and execution are disconnected

The strategy team draws the plan, but agencies and field teams interpret it differently. Consistency is lost, and accountability becomes unclear.

Digital and offline are disconnected

Web advertising and the field, such as test drives and negotiations, are operated with different KPIs.

Broken handoff data lowers CVR.

ToC and ToB are disconnected

Consumer branding and sales or partner enablement drift apart. The field loses energy to sell.

5SENSE integrated approach

Design, implement, and learn through one architecture

PMO manages everything from strategy to execution end to end.

Fast PDCA based on data connects directly to results.

Integrated on/offline communication

We design seamlessly from digital ads to real-world experiences.

We unify customer experience and maximize conversion.

Unify consumer journeys and sales networks

Brand value reaches the sales side too.

We build the mechanism for selling together with partners.

Integrated execution model

Our three divisions work across boundaries to build an integrated system that executes from strategy design through implementation.

The international business strategy, marketing, and development divisions share roles without becoming siloed, and move projects forward together.

By linking these functions, we build a continuous growth model, not one-off support.
