Introduction to Our Company and the Background of Our CM Production

We are a corporate database marketing support company entering our 34th year since establishment. In July 2022, we changed our company name to uSonar Co., Ltd. to drive future growth.
To mark this occasion and increase our brand awareness, we launched the "Sales, Now in the Data Generation" CM campaign in October of the same year.
This is the third installment of the campaign, following the brand awareness CM "Nice to Meet You" released in April, which featured Ryoko Kobayashi in her first starring role. This CM highlights the appeal of Meishi Sonar, one of our flagship services. Keep an eye out for the "Meishi Sonar" logo, which has been transformed into a squishy, soft object.

Story

In an office setting, the camera zooms in on Sales Manager Ryoko Kobayashi.
Holding up her business card, she begins by saying, "Business cards are treasure maps!"
"From just a single business card, you can pull out more detailed and up-to-date client information than any web search—pulling and pulling..." As she gestures as if pulling something from her PC screen, the Meishi Sonar logo pops out.
What is this? When a smartphone scans a business card, the scene shifts to a futuristic CG world where data flies around, revealing the appeal of Meishi Sonar. It is a "super business card app that provides everything from the latest client information and industry trends to competitor movements." Back in the office, Manager Kobayashi strokes the logo and says, "Meishi Sonar is truly useful." *30-second version

Sales DX starting with business cards. Meishi Sonar is different.

Many companies are embarking on sales DX (Digital Transformation) initiatives, starting with the management and sharing of business card data received from clients.
Our business card management application, Meishi Sonar, allows users to access a wealth of corporate information and integrate with SFA systems, regardless of whether a business card has been exchanged.
The corporate information provided by Meishi Sonar is powered by our proprietary corporate database, LBC. LBC systematically manages almost all corporate entities across Japan at the business location level. It covers 8.2 million locations and includes a diverse range of associated attribute data.
Based on this LBC data, our client companies are leveraging it not only for sales DX and operational efficiency but also for sales and marketing strategies, including the discovery of new customers.
uSonar has supported over 800 companies, primarily large enterprises, in their sales DX initiatives.
