By collaborating closely with all stakeholders, we strive to uncover and create new value in the world of sports.
SPORTING STORIES TOCHANGE THE WORLD.

MESSAGE

What I value most is never treating sport as merely “content” or a “means of business.”

Sport is not something to be consumed as information or images alone; it has the power to move people’s hearts, challenge their values, and at times even influence their life choices and the way they live.

That is why we have continually asked ourselves how the experiences created through sport can be connected to the thoughts, emotions, and aspirations of each sei-katsu-sha, and what kind of value they can create for society.
Creating experiences that truly resonate with each individual’s values—this is where our origins lie.

With a renewed company name, Hakuhodo Sports Marketing is now moving into its next stage, building upon the foundation of our journey to date.
At the core of this evolution lies “Sei-katsu-sha Insight.”
We believe that those who receive the value of sport are not passive audiences, but sei-katsu-sha with their own agency.
From their perspective, we aspire to design sports IP as a management asset that connects companies with society.

By engaging with all those who support sport, we aim to create enduring and sustainable value.

Transforming the energy generated by sport into a driver of corporate growth.
And channeling that value into vitality for society.

Creating this cycle is our mission.

We look forward to your continued interest in and high expectations for the future of Hakuhodo Sports Marketing.
