【Secrets to Supporting 500 Companies】Representative Seiichi Sakakibara Thoroughly Explains Corporate SNS Operations! Achieves Highest Satisfaction Rating at Kurashiki Junior Chamber Seminar.

EMOLVA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Seiichi Sakakibara), which provides comprehensive support for corporate SNS marketing, announced that its representative, Seiichi Sakakibara, served as a lecturer at the seminar "The Secrets of Corporate SNS Management You Can Start Tomorrow," hosted by the Kurashiki Junior Chamber.

The seminar was held with the theme of strategic design to connect SNS from "just posting" to clear "business growth, recruitment, and sales." Sakakibara, who has supported over 500 companies in the forefront of SNS operations, revealed practical know-how based on the latest algorithms. It garnered significant attention, particularly from local government officials and SME managers.

## Background to the Lecture Request from Kurashiki Junior Chamber

The request for this lecture came about when Chairman Hamai of the Kurashiki Junior Chamber (hereinafter, Kurashiki JC) met Sakakibara, our representative, while seconded to the Junior Chamber International Japan in fiscal year 2023. Since then, the Kurashiki JC had shown high interest and appreciation for Sakakibara's meticulous strategies communicated through SNS and his influence in steadily increasing follower numbers.

As background, Kurashiki JC faced challenges in its organizational SNS operations, such as stagnant follower growth and the need to strengthen its communication power. Furthermore, many member companies expressed concerns about specific operational methods, despite recognizing the importance of SNS utilization, which led to the planning of this seminar.

The decision to hold this lecture was made based on a strong request to utilize Sakakibara's methods, which consistently produce results based on unique logic and understanding the characteristics of numerous SNS platforms, to solve organizational and regional challenges.

## Seminar Content: Avoiding SNS Operation "Losing Patterns" and Maximizing Results

On the day of the seminar, the characteristics of major platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) were covered comprehensively.
A systematic lecture was given, focusing particularly on the following points, which can be put into practice immediately from the next day.

- Thorough Algorithm Dissection: Explaining the inner workings of "what each SNS evaluates and to whom it delivers content."
- NG Operations to Avoid: Reasons why many companies fall into the trap of gaining followers but not sales.
- Logic of Winning Post Design: Composition techniques to attract target audiences and encourage actions (inquiries, purchases).
- Potential of SNS x Recruitment: Recruitment brand building methods based on the company's own track record of attracting over 12,000 applicants.

- Participant Feedback: A flood of "Satisfaction 5" (highest rating).
In the post-seminar survey, the majority of participants responded with the highest rating of "Satisfaction 5."
Many comments were received, such as "My concept of SNS has changed."

[Excerpts from Participant Comments]
"The meaning and logic of using SNS became clear. I keenly felt how unprepared I had been until now."
"I was doing exactly the 'NG operations' in my own company. I want to correct course immediately."
"I became convinced that this is the most important theme for the company to address."

Beyond merely conveying know-how, by emphasizing the importance of SNS as a corporate management strategy, multiple inquiries for individual strategic consultations and future collaborations have also arisen.

## Comment from Representative Director Seiichi Sakakibara

"SNS is now the lifeline of businesses. However, many companies are entering without a proper 'blueprint' and are becoming exhausted. I hope that through this seminar, as many companies as possible have experienced the true value of 'SNS that contributes to business.' EMOLVA will continue to strongly support the revitalization of regional economies and the promotion of corporate DX through the power of SNS marketing."
