Report on the 1st Special Class Held on June 25

The first class focused on the theme of "SNS Marketer," going beyond simply introducing techniques for "going viral" on SNS to deeply explore the "job of an SNS Marketer" itself.

Drawing on his experience supporting over 500 companies in SNS operation outsourcing and influencer promotion, Sakakibara explained the role of an SNS marketer and why they are indispensable to companies and brands. He asked the students, "How do you all get information?" and conducted a class that allowed them to think from a relatable perspective about how their own daily information gathering through SNS like TikTok and Instagram is utilized in business.

During the class, Sakakibara shared his view that in the coming era, individuals who combine "communicator" and "marketer" roles will become stronger, stating that those who can strategically communicate while growing their own accounts are the ones who will be sought after in the future. He then conveyed that the students of Shibuya Girls' International School possess this potential, boosting their motivation for future learning.
