We are hiring!

Wanted: Interactive producer for Next Inc.

As an interactive producer at Next Inc. you will be in charge of many different kinds of online projects. You need the technical background and experience to be able to supervise digital projects.

But we are not primarily looking for a web designer or programmer. We need someone who, with an understanding of the wider marketing landscape, can help our clients develop and implement digital marketing strategies and projects. The work can be quite hands-on, so you need the relevant background and skills.

The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of relevant experience and is very comfortable with today’s ever-changing digital world. You will be part of a tight team of copywriters, art directors, PR consultants, video producers, etc.

Next Inc. provides top-class international clients with integrated marketing communication services. Our services include PR, advertising, custom publishing, video production, online activities, and more.

Among our clients are Boeing, Volvo Group, IKEA, and Fuji Electric. Most of our clients are international companies, but the materials we produce are mainly in Japanese for the Japanese market. Read more here: www.nextinc.com

Please send your CV in English and Japanese to [email protected]

Thank you.

Based in Tokyo, Next Inc. provides integrated communication and advertising solutions.

One of our oldest clients, BJB is a German company that has been manufacturing product components for the lighting industry for 150 years. We at Next have been working with BJB since 2002.

BJB is an exhibitor at this year’s Lighting Fair, one of Japan’s most comprehensive trade shows for the lighting industry. This marks the eighth time for us to help with this event, which is held every other year. We were tasked with planning and designing the booth, as well as preparing panels, printed material, and giveaways.

If you’re interested in what BJB does, Lighting Fair 2017 will be held until March 10th at Tokyo Big Sight.

I love this job. Working for a communications agency, you learn a bit of everything, but are not really an expert on anything (except communications, of course). It’s the perfect job for a curious mind.

Just last month, we enjoyed a day full of cream cheese recipes. And now I landed a 787 and refueled a fighter jet. Sort of.
The Japan International Aerospace Exhibition is held every four years. This year, it took place at Tokyo’s Big Sight. Our client, Boeing, was there, of course.

For most visitors, the highlights of Boeing’s booth were a 787 Dreamliner Flight Deck Demonstrator and an authentic AROS (Aerial Refueling Operator’s Station) from a KC-46 tanker plane.
I can say that landing a 787 is not easy, even if helped out by a real-life Boeing expert. I ended up way outside of the landing strip.

Operating a KC-46 tanker’s refueling boom was somewhat easier. At least, the instructor left me thinking so (maybe he also helped out secretly). This was particularly interesting, as we worked with KC-46 material last year during a campaign. (Published by Kjell Fornander.)

Two weeks ago, we attended the Open House of our client, Mycronic (http://www.mycronic.com), a leading provider of production equipment for electronics and display manufacturing - mask writers, surface mount technology (SMT) equipment, and more. Mycronic arranged this event for employees' families and the company's associates to learn more about the company, and to get young children interested in technology. It never hurts to start them young, after all! With food and interesting activities, it was an enjoyable day for everyone.

On Sept. 28th, Arla Foods Japan held its annual BUKO Cream Cheese Contest, which we at Next helped organize. This year's theme is "A Marriage of BUKO and Chocolate," and this year also marked the addition of a new category, Mass Production. The ten finalists from the Showcase and Dessert categories spent three hours preparing beautiful, delectable creations. Four finalists from the Mass Production category arrived later in the day with their entries, for a total of fourteen finalists. Don't their creations make your mouth water? おいしそうですね。

One great thing about our location is that a food truck stops by our area for lunch. We especially love Thursday's offering - Singapore's famous Hainanese chicken rice! At 700 yen a serving (+100 yen for a side dish or dessert), it's quite reasonably priced. いただきます！
