The 'Creative Galaxy,' bringing together creative leaders from the Dentsu Group, including Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN), was launched, with its first core meeting held at Dentsu headquarters in March.
Chaired by Dentsu Inc. Executive Officer Yasuo Motai, the organization comprises 11 members, including Chief Creative Officers (CCOs) representing each region. Its objectives include building flexible collaborative frameworks for client service and nurturing the next generation of star creators. The meeting featured lively discussions on advancing these goals.
At the reception, Dentsu Inc. directors and executive officers who supported the organization's establishment—Tim Andre, Executive Managing Director; Yuzuru Kato, Executive Managing Director; and Kazumichi Iwakami, Executive Officer—congratulated the core members on the launch and mingled with them. Andre opened by stating, "Creativity is at the core of our business. Just as stars form galaxies through their gravitational pull, I hope you will attract many talents, nurture young people, and navigate the company's future." Mr. Kato stated that with the birth of DAN, "we have become an extremely powerful group possessing global media power and creativity. Let us enhance synergy by pursuing collaboration rather than competition and open new horizons."

Director, Dentsu Inc. Communication Design Center The global trend in creative work is co-creation. While the "disciplines" agency creatives must master have dramatically increased, collaborating across all barriers—national, territorial, and more—enables us to find new answers to previously impossible challenges. I believe we should create a "catalog of capabilities" within the group and advance strategic personnel exchanges and placements. |
