Akuntsu

A different kind of international facilitator

01. Story

Olympics & Cirque du Soleil

Akuntsu’s story started first when the Labelle brothers’ and their partner, Yuko Nakamura, shared the dream of redefining the meaning of international relationships in the digital marketing world. Their growing success consisted of coaching top brands to win the race of hearts in the digital sphere, beyond the deluge of technologies and content by building strong cultures through innovative digital strategies targeting the Asian market.

Along the way, they also became by necessity, one of the very rare “context” agency facilitating business liaison and development success in Japan / Asia. Focusing on sport, entertainment and lifestyle brands, they’ve revived the international business relation process with the same mindset: challenging the status quo.

From that experience and its learnings, their next approach as innovators is no different – their next goal is to transform how creators and innovators are found, collaborate and succeed with potential clients internationally.

They have been key facilitators in our relationship with our Japanese partners to participate in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic tenders for the Ceremonies and Torch Relay. They were the essential cement between the bricks.

Love Japan and Asia, love the present-future of innovation. Their determination has led them to become one of the ultimate connectors when it comes to sharing a relevant presence in Asia, and in particular in Japan.

Sport, entertainment and lifestyle brands should tap into their solid international network as a business matchmaker. As growth accelerator, working along with the client’s team, they’re result-oriented and always deliver business results efficiently and effectively.

Serge Labelle and Yuko Nakamura led the negotiation of our co-production agreement for our Star Wars: Identities exhibition. Their many contacts allowed us to meet the decision-makers with all the relevant players in Tokyo and ultimately to sign a partnership agreement with Sony […]. Their in-depth understanding of the Japanese people paired with their business acumen was particularly helpful. I will not hesitate to recommend them and work with them for our next opportunities.
