OUR EXPERIENCE

  • Our partnerships with American multinationals often begin at the headquarters level, where we build on existing intelligence with fresh research, insights from relevant stakeholders, and creative, tech-enabled campaigns.

    From there, our greatest value lies in bridging cultural and organizational divides. By listening closely and liaising between headquarters and local teams, we help ensure that global strategies translate into meaningful action and that insights from the field inform leadership decisions.

  • Our work with Japanese firms centers on helping them carry their unique strengths and values into global markets. We draw on deep experience in both Japan and abroad to translate strategies, brand stories, and workplace practices so they resonate across cultures.

    By bridging expectations between Japanese leadership and their international teams and stakeholders, we enable our clients not only to expand their presence overseas but to realize their full potential on a global stage.

  • Our experience in the public sector spans health, safety, diplomacy, and international development. We have supported US federal agencies, international organizations, and NGOs in building campaigns, communities, and programs that advance the public good.

    In Japan, we have advised the Prime Minister’s Office on strategic communications — from cultural diplomacy to policy promotion and investment attraction — reaching key opinion leaders in the US, UK, and Europe, India, Australia, and ASEAN.

    As global citizens who benefit from the post-WWII order, we carry a unique sense of responsibility on these engagements, which help democratic institutions and mission-driven organizations communicate with clarity, credibility, and impact at home and abroad.

What can we do together?

Your challenges are unique. So are the perspectives that surround them. In our first consultation, we’ll listen to understand your priorities and explore how the differences you’re encountering could become a source of strength.

OUR APPROACH

To transform differences into strength, we combine real-time intelligence and analytic rigor with intuition honed over decades and across diverse roles and contexts.

In practice, this means we:

  • Listen deeply to understand the perspectives, priorities, and dynamics shaping a situation,

  • Translate perspectives to reveal connections, gaps, and opportunities that might go unnoticed, and

  • Facilitate collaboration between relevant interests to foster alignment, decision-making, and action.

By tapping both intelligence and intuition, leaders and teams gain clearer insights, more confident foresight, and new pathways to meaningful impact.

OUR NAME

Agence Juban takes its name from a Tokyo neighborhood where narrow streets lined with Edo-era shops hum with the voices of diplomats and expats from around the world. The name reflects the range of our international experience and cross-cultural perspectives. It also reflects our belief that the best advice requires both technical skills refined over many years and a unconscious connection to the material you’re working with.
