■ Background
Since its founding, AUN CONSULTING has focused on global marketing support, helping many companies expand overseas from Asia to North America and Europe. Furthermore, with the spread of generative AI changing the structure of search and information distribution, companies are required to optimize their outreach and acquisition including AI-based search.
Meanwhile, regional companies are facing complex issues such as recruitment, sales channel expansion, and digital utilization due to changes in demographics and industrial structures, increasing the need for community-rooted, hands-on support. Glocal Marketing, based in Niigata Prefecture, addresses regional issues through marketing support, human resource recruitment/training, and business efficiency support for regional companies.
The philosophy of 'Regional Revitalization' championed by Glocal Marketing resonates with the journey of AUN CONSULTING, whose CEO, Shida, expanded the business by supporting marketing for companies in his hometown of Fukushima Prefecture. Through this alliance, the companies will strengthen their support system for both domestic and international markets by combining global strengths with local expertise.
■ Future Outlook
Through this alliance, the companies will mutually expand the value provided to their respective customer bases and strengthen growth support for regional companies, looking not only at the domestic market but also at overseas markets.
Specifically, by combining field-oriented problem identification and execution rooted in the region with global and multilingual knowledge, the companies will contribute to sales channel development, cross-border expansion, digital utilization, and human resource reinforcement for regional companies. In addition, through AIO (AI Optimization) support, which AUN is focusing on, the alliance will provide end-to-end support from visualizing mention/citation status in AI searches to strategic improvement proposals and implementation, contributing to the enhancement of corporate information dissemination and brand value.
In the future, the companies will promote mutual introduction to existing customers and establish a joint proposal and operation system, proceeding with the creation of support cases and accumulation of knowledge.
The impact of this alliance on AUN's consolidated business results is expected to be minor.
