Paid Advertising (PPC)

Paid media for Japan — built, tested, and reported in the open.

We plan, build, and run paid campaigns on Meta, Google, TikTok, and LINE for the Japanese market. The senior bilingual people who set your strategy are the same people inside your ad accounts every week. Media spend is always billed transparently and separately from our management fee — you see exactly where your budget goes.

Who this is forThis is for foreign brands entering or growing in Japan, and for Japanese organizations reaching outward — teams that want paid media handled directly by the people doing the work, not passed down an agency chain. If you have ROAS, CAC, or lead goals (or need help defining them) and expect full visibility into how your budget performs, we'll work well together.

What’s included

01

Platform strategy

A clear-eyed call on which of Meta, Google, TikTok, and LINE actually fit your goals in Japan — and which to skip for now.

02

Campaign builds

Account structure, audiences, bidding, and budgets set up properly from day one — in your own ad accounts, linked through OJI DIGITAL's, or created fresh for you. We'll recommend the cleanest structure and handle the setup either way.

03

Japanese-market creative iteration

Ad copy and creative concepts written natively for Japanese audiences — not translated from your home-market ads — and tested in structured rounds.

04

Conversion tracking and measurement

Pixels, tags, and conversion events configured so decisions rest on real data, plus honest guidance on what the platforms can and can't tell you.

05

Ongoing optimization

Hands-on weekly management against your ROAS, CAC, or lead targets: budget shifts, bid adjustments, audience refinement, creative refreshes.

06

Transparent reporting

Plain-language reports that show what we changed, why, and what happened. You see what we see — no black boxes.

How we deliver

Strategy and media plan

We define goals and targets with you, then map platforms, audiences, and budget allocation into a plan you can read in one sitting.

Build and launch

We set up tracking, structure the accounts, produce launch creative, and go live with a testing plan already in place.

Test and learn

Early weeks are for finding what works: creative angles, audiences, and messages compete, and the data decides.

Optimize against targets

Once signals are clear, we concentrate budget on what performs and keep refreshing creative to counter ad fatigue.

Report and re-plan

Regular reporting in plain language, plus periodic strategy reviews to adjust the plan as your business and the market move.

Common questions

How is media spend billed?

Two clean options. Simplest: your payment card sits directly on the ad account and the platforms bill you — you see every yen in the dashboards yourself. Alternatively, we run campaigns through OJI DIGITAL's ad accounts: media budget is then invoiced in advance, and campaigns launch once funds have cleared. Either way, our management fee is the only charge from us — media is always passed through transparently, with no markup.

Who owns the ad accounts and data?

Your data and learnings stay yours either way. If campaigns run in your own accounts, everything lives with you from day one. If they run through ours, we document campaigns, creative, and learnings as we go — and can migrate the whole setup into your own accounts whenever you're ready. No hostage situations.

What budget do we need to make this worthwhile?

We recommend a starting media budget of at least ¥300,000/month. Management is a 20% fee on monthly media spend, with a ¥100,000/month minimum. Below that starting point, campaigns gather data too slowly to optimize well — if your budget is smaller, tell us anyway and we'll say honestly whether paid media is the right next step.
