Why Western Playbooks Fail in Japan
Global marketers relying on search ads, LinkedIn, cold DMs, and direct translations often see low engagement from local buyers. In Japans relationship-driven culture, trust is paramount. C-suite executives and Department Heads rarely use social media for vendor discovery. Instead, they rely on trusted industry trade publications, specialized newsletters, and earned PR.
