ABOUT MAKALI

Japanese businesses.

Our perspective

01 / OUR PHILOSOPHY

What we work towards.

We find value in Japan and connect it with people overseas.
Then we build on the response to develop lasting sales channels and inbound initiatives.

MISSION / What we doConnecting Japan’s value with global demand.
VISION / The future we seekA future where Japan’s ambition
moves global markets.

02 / MESSAGE

Bringing undiscovered value
to the world.

Representative DirectorAkihiko Matsuzato

Japan has products that have yet to reach the world, and places whose appeal can only be understood through a visit. A business does not have to be a major brand to offer something people value. I want to create opportunities for those businesses to meet the people who need them. That is what drives me at MAKALI.

We do not stop at getting the word out. We use KOL (influencer) marketing to build awareness and encourage purchases, while developing relationships with buyers and distributors. For products, this means exports; for places and experiences, inbound demand. Through testing, learning and steady effort, we work with ambitious businesses and communities to build demand that lasts.

“Thank you.”
We want to turn work that earns those words into new ventures and a positive contribution to society.

04 / OUR VALUES

Principles that guide
our everyday decisions.

  1. Give it a try.

    Take the first step, even in the face of uncertainty or opposition.

  2. Stay the course.

    Do not let obstacles or setbacks become reasons to give up.

  3. Ask what you can contribute,
    not just what you can gain.

    Take ownership of your role and contribution instead of leaving it to others.

  4. NOT TO YOU.
    FOR YOU.

    Life happens for you, not to you.
    See the events in your life not simply as things happening to you, but as things happening for you.

  5. Recognise what you have.
    Give back.

    Reinvest the results and contribute to people, communities and society.

  6. Pursue the dream. Make it sustainable.

    Look beyond short-term profit and build a sustainable business around a meaningful ambition.
