Community Revitalization

We are producers of community revitalization.

At the request of local communities, we go on site and work with residents on community development based on the principles of ecotourism. Our main services include:

  • Supporting committees and promotion councils so that everyone shares the basic vision for the community
  • Advising residents as they take the lead in discovering, polishing, taking pride in, sharing and developing their local treasures
  • Consulting and market research to grow residents’ ideas for using their treasures into local brands
  • Producing publications and supporting events that spread the results of treasure hunting (community newsletters, brochures, treasure maps, phenology calendars and more)

Marketing & Social Research

Our marketing & social research goes beyond consumer marketing research. In more than 30 countries, we conduct a wide range of studies, from research on the stakeholders surrounding our clients to community research that helps companies grow together with the communities they belong to.

Through our research, we deliver three kinds of value:

  • We reveal, from its underlying structure, what issue a client faces and where it lies
  • We dig into the issues we find, identify ways to resolve them, and make proposals for sustainable growth
  • We always design our research with the aim of creating, protecting and enhancing our clients’ brand value
