Seiichi Sakakibara Appointed as Special Lecturer on SNS Utilization at Shibuya Girls International School 'Shibujyo'

EMOLVA Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Seiichi Sakakibara), a provider of comprehensive SNS marketing support, has been appointed as a special lecturer focusing on the importance of SNS utilization and concrete strategies at 'Shibuya Girls International School,' a full-time correspondence support school that practically teaches next-generation skills and nurtures women to succeed globally.

In an era where SNS has become the infrastructure for business and self-expression, learning how to utilize it is an indispensable element for students aiming to become next-generation leaders. With Sakakibara, who continues to achieve results at the forefront of SNS marketing, taking on the role of lecturer, the school will establish a system to continuously guide students on the secrets of operation based on the latest algorithms and the essential mindset to increase fans.

■ Background of the Lecture Request and Expectations for Sakakibara

■ Background of the Appointment
In recent years, SNS has become an essential tool for personal and corporate branding, and we have entered an era where the power to transmit information itself dictates business success. Against this backdrop, the school strongly requested Sakakibara, as someone who embodies "what true influence is," to deliver messages directly to the students.

■ Reasons for the Request and Expectations
While there are countless SNS accounts, there are very few executives who boast overwhelming follower numbers and high engagement, and who actually drive business forward. The school highly evaluated and placed great expectations on Sakakibara, a strategist who continues to stand at the forefront and possesses both the philosophy of dissemination and practical know-how, believing he can provide the best possible learning experience to the students. This led to his appointment as a lecturer.

■ Trust Backed by Achievements in a Wide Range of Fields

Seiichi Sakakibara, CEO of EMOLVA Inc., has a proven track record of numerous lectures and consulting sessions across industry boundaries as an SNS expert.
