01The challenge
A strong brand, in a market with its own rules.
Arturia is known to musicians worldwide. Japan is one of the most important markets for instruments, with its own retailers, press and communities.
Being visible there takes more than translated product pages.
02What we did
Representation, marketing and giveaways.
We represented Arturia in Japan and ran marketing in Japanese, written for musicians and producers rather than translated from the global plan.
Giveaways and community activations put the instruments in front of Japanese musicians — and into their hands.
