sembear LLC (Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO Kotaro Haruta) will host a dialogue webinar titled 'What Really Matters in City Promotion' on July 1, 2026, 14:30-16:00 JST via Zoom. Guest speaker Takayoshi Kawai, former Tokai University professor and head of the Public Communication Research Institute, coined 'City Promotion 2.0,' which reframes the goal from gaining permanent residents to fostering regional engagement (related population). His mGAP metric measures community participation volume. The session pairs Kawai's theory with sembear's digital marketing expertise to help municipal staff define purpose, set outcome-linked KPIs, and build reproducible evaluation frameworks. Topics include aligning internal language on promotion goals, quantifying 'related population' growth, designing daily operational metrics beyond annual surveys, and ensuring continuity when staff rotate. Attendance is free and open to municipal employees in public relations, planning, and city promotion roles.
