"I'm impressed with SSF Tokyo's rapid growth and progressive approach." Kamiutsuri commented, "SSF is one of the very few agencies in Japan that develops truly integrated media neutral campaign ideas. We don't think digital vs. ATL vs BTL. We think about what's the best idea that will develop an emotional connection between brand and consumer. That's what's needed in today's multi-screen world. I'm delighted to work with the entire team. The company culture is wonderful and the momentum is exciting."
