Alumni Profiles

After graduating, I worked in the field of public relations, but wanting to deepen my expertise, I decided to pursue an MBA at Keio University Graduate School of Business Administration. After completing my studies, I joined a major advertising agency, where my work in advertising sparked a strong interest in the digital advertising field. Aspiring to take on new challenges at the industry’s leading company, I now work at Google Japan, focusing on advertising products for corporate clients. In my current role, I manage YouTube advertising campaigns and support promotional activities for major Japanese companies, including projects targeting overseas markets. In this work, my experience at APU—where I studied alongside students from around the world and gained firsthand exposure to global perspectives—has proven extremely valuable. For example, when developing advertising strategies for Vietnam, I already have an intuitive understanding of local perspectives even before conducting on-site interviews and research. I am deeply grateful to APU for providing me with learning experiences that go far beyond knowledge alone—experiences that could not have been gained elsewhere.
