uSonar and Logly Sign Business Alliance Agreement to Launch "ad Sonar," a Native Advertising Platform Specialized for B2B

uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Nami Fukutomi; President: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "uSonar"), which promotes the realization of sales DX by utilizing "LBC," one of Japan's largest corporate databases, announces that it has signed a business alliance agreement on April 1, 2023, with Logly, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hirokazu Yoshinaga; Securities Code: 6579; hereinafter "Logly"), the provider of Japan's first native advertising platform "LOGLY lift," to offer a B2B-specialized native advertising platform capable of targeting specific companies and industries.

According to research by ITR Corporation, the market for integrated B2B marketing support reached approximately 11 billion yen in fiscal year 2021 (an 18.2% increase from the previous year). Furthermore, the market size is projected to grow to approximately 21 billion yen by 2026.
This growth is driven by the digital shift in marketing budgets and the increasing integration of marketing support products with SFA and CDP systems, which has expanded the scope of implementation. The B2B marketing sector is a growth market where technology utilization is expected and efficiency is increasingly required, extending beyond just the integrated marketing support market.
High-precision targeting is essential for efficient lead generation in B2B advertising. By offering "ad Sonar," an advertising menu that integrates uSonar's "LBC"—one of Japan's largest corporate databases with 8.2 million records—with Logly's "LOGLY lift," we will realize greater efficiency in lead generation within the B2B advertising sector. With "ad Sonar," when delivering ads via LOGLY lift, it becomes possible to target not only specific companies and industries but also by sales scale and number of employees, based on common IDs at the corporate level such as IP address information.
Furthermore, by combining this with the strengths of LOGLY lift—a native advertising platform that does not compromise the user experience—and performing high-precision targeting for appropriate users with high interest, it becomes possible to approach targets from both psychographic and demographic perspectives.

"ad Sonar" is scheduled for release in the summer of 2023.
Following the launch, we will continue to enhance the added value of our B2B advertising services by expanding data based on common IDs at the department level, rather than just the corporate level, and by increasing the number of delivery channels.
