Robust Marketing Support That Drives Business Growth

We have four core strengths that, when combined, deliver robust marketing support that drives business growth.

Committed to Delivering True Advertising Value and Supporting Clients' Business Growth

Extensive track record and knowledge, marketing strategy development that identifies business challenges through environmental analysis, marketing plan design across full-funnel, full-channel, and cross-device, and performance maximization through proprietary products — these four strengths combined deliver marketing support that drives business growth.

Changes in the Customer Journey

Changes in the Customer Journey

The customer journey has shifted from a linear model to a more exploratory, cyclical one, entering an era where simple one-way communication is no longer sufficient.

Funnel Optimization

Funnel Optimization

Rather than viewing the relationship between funnels and media in isolation as before, it is now necessary to think about full-funnel, full-channel, and cross-device in an integrated manner.

Achieving Robust Full-Funnel, Full-Channel, Cross-Device Support Through Optimal Communication Design and Media Solutions

The Growing Importance of Full-Funnel, Full-Channel, Cross-Device Support Amid Increasingly Diverse Consumer Behavior

Achieving Optimal Targeting

We partner with multiple vendors to independently accumulate consented online behavioral data. By leveraging purchase history-based targeting, proprietary purchase data, and competitor purchase data, we can directly reach users with high LTV (Customer Lifetime Value).

Achieving Optimal Targeting

Deep Customer Insight Understanding

We can visualize insights into high-LTV users and conduct detailed N1 analysis (individual user analysis) based on purchase histories. By analyzing correlations in purchasing behavior and lifestyle patterns — such as what other products users are buying and what services they use — we contribute to more insightful marketing strategies and persona development.

Deep Customer Insight Understanding

Comprehensive Targeting Combinations

By combining approaches to high-LTV users with conventional targeting methods such as demographic data and interest-based targeting (contextual/keyword/affinity), we can comprehensively reach heavy, mid, and light users that promotions should target.

AI Optimizes Every Stage of Creative Production, Building a Data-Driven Production Process

Agent MALOOK: Manga Ad-Specialized Creative Optimization Solution

Agent MALOOK is a solution that combines the knowledge Adways has accumulated over many years — including manga ad creative structure, direction, and vast delivery data — with AI technology to reproduce successful patterns and enable efficient creative production and operations. It enables the rapid production of far more creative variations than before, achieving large-scale effect testing in a short period of time, improving advertising effectiveness, further capitalizing on know-how as assets, and contributing to advertisers’ business growth.

Agent MALOOK
Manga Ad-Specialized Creative Optimization Solution

AI optimizes every stage of the creative production process for manga advertising, building a data-driven production process where previously it relied on individual expertise.

Agent MALOOK’s Strengths and Uniqueness

Reproducible Decision-Making Independent of Individual Experience

Drawing from a vast track record of tens of thousands of creative operations, we build a proprietary knowledge base to propose optimal tactics — including manga-specific structures and messaging angles. By enabling high-precision decision-making independent of individual experience or tacit knowledge in the shortest possible time, we maintain advertising effectiveness at consistently high levels and minimize opportunity loss for advertisers.

Reproducible Decision-Making Independent of Individual Experience

Codifying Results into Explicit Knowledge and Establishing an Improvement Cycle

By seamlessly integrating ad delivery data with AI analysis, we not only automatically generate reports on the validity, effectiveness, and improvement points of campaigns, but also clearly indicate the next actions based on those results. By accumulating previously individual-dependent know-how as explicit knowledge (success patterns) and leveraging it as intellectual assets, we establish a continuous improvement cycle.

Codifying Results into Explicit Knowledge and Establishing an Improvement Cycle

Optimizing the Production Process and Accelerating Execution Speed

With AI supporting the production process itself, it becomes possible to rapidly produce far more creative variations than before. The improvement in production speed allows us to keep pace with market trends and maintain ad freshness while conducting large-scale effect testing. Maximizing the number of iterations creates opportunities to discover new success patterns, generating a virtuous cycle that further enhances advertising effectiveness.

Agent MALOOK protects the rights of creators and copyright holders. A governance structure based on confidentiality agreements, transparency, and co-creation is established, and all data used is strictly operated, managed, and maintained in a closed environment isolated from external learning.

Solving Challenges in the Internet Advertising Industry and Restoring the True Value of Advertising

Currently, many deceptive ads using misleading techniques and fraudulent technologies can be found across the internet. As a result, users are increasingly averse to internet advertising. Advertising budgets are being wasted and this has become one factor hindering the business growth of the companies involved. We at Adways are working toward a sustainable industry and market in order to restore the true value of advertising.

CURRENT CHALLENGES AND THE DESIRED DIRECTION

Current Challenges and the Direction We Should Pursue

These are challenges and directions that not only Adways, but the entire internet advertising industry must consider and address.

Current State of the Advertising Industry Many media outlets and agency operators continue to employ deceptive advertising methods The proliferation of ad fraud and deceptive advertising hinders clients’ business growth User aversion caused by ads that fail to deliver the value advertising should inherently provide
The Direction the Advertising Industry Should Pursue Going Forward All media outlets and advertising operators deliver ads that are genuinely valuable to users By preventing fraudulent and deceptive ads, contribute to clients’ business growth Change perceptions of advertising through ads and delivery methods that users do not find objectionable

EFFORTS TO COMBAT AD FRAUD AND ENSURE Advertising INTEGRITY

Efforts to Combat Ad Fraud and Ensure Advertising Integrity

At Adways, as countermeasures against ad fraud — which should never be counted as legitimate advertising results — we have introduced ad verification tools, scrutinize view-through conversions (conversions triggered by ad impressions) for each media outlet, implement whitelist (client-approved media list) delivery, and exclude view-through conversion media. We have also met the standards for brand safety and invalid traffic countermeasures, and have been certified as a quality-certified operator by JICDAQ (Japan Internet Certification for Digital Advertising Quality).

Introduction of Ad Verification Tools [Ad Fraud Countermeasures]

Introduction of Ad Verification Tools Ad Fraud Countermeasures

A comprehensive internet advertising risk management dashboard equipped with two types of list provision services: Web Unsafe List and Channel Safe List. It collects approximately 100 million URLs daily and can update in real time the URLs of sites deemed inappropriate or fraudulent based on screening criteria.

View-Through Media Screening [Ad Fraud Countermeasures]

View-Through Media Screening Ad Fraud Countermeasures

Video CPI (Cost Per Install) and network-based menus may offer lower acquisition costs, but they carry the risk of ad fraud and attributing organic users via the ad. Therefore, media outlets that have previously measured ad fraud or organic users as advertising results are generally not recommended for delivery.

Registration with JICDAQ (Japan Internet Certification for Digital Advertising Quality)

Registration with JICDAQ (Japan Internet Certification for Digital Advertising Quality)

A certification body established with the wish that digital advertising would be beneficial to consumers, companies, and society, and with the aim of promoting the sound development of the digital advertising market. Adways has met the standards for brand safety and invalid traffic countermeasures and has been certified as a quality-certified operator.

We select advertising menus and tactics that are valuable for clients’ business growth from a variety of perspectives, aiming to maximize LTV (Customer Lifetime Value) directly linked to client revenue, as well as improving ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) and ROI (Return on Investment).

Maximizing LTV Directly Linked to Client Revenue, Improving ROAS/ROI

In addition to countermeasures against ad fraud and other fraudulent practices, we propose optimal plans tailored to each business, service, scale, and phase — include comprehensive marketing support across funnels and devices, maximize user acquisition through both paid and organic channels, achieve numerical targets and encourage continued usage, expand mid-to-long-term revenue, and implement user loyalty improvement initiatives.
