Spin

What Spin does

SPIN Inc. (株式会社スピン) is a Tokyo-based, privately held B2B services company founded in 1970 as Japan's first in-store marketing agency. Over more than 55 years it has built a practice serving major consumer goods manufacturers and retailers with integrated sales promotion, in-store marketing, POP and display production, brand communication, consumer campaigns, and field sales support. The company organizes these services through two specialized business units: the Account Executive (AE) unit, focused on in-store marketing and sales promotion; and the Experience Produce (XP) unit, focused on spatial design and immersive brand experiences.

SPIN's technology foundation is anchored by Eyeliner®, a proprietary holographic projection system used for 3D live performances, spatial entertainment, and immersive presentations. The company operates the TxD (T×D) creative unit, which integrates internal staff and external professionals to produce live entertainment and spatial design using Eyeliner® and real-time rendering technologies. SPIN also holds a general construction license for interior finishing work, enabling turnkey spatial builds, and maintains a JIPDEC Privacy Mark certification for personal information handling. Production assets include the Kagurazaka Studio in Tokyo dedicated to holographic work.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements sold directly to enterprise clients via dedicated AE and XP sales teams — covering consulting, strategy development, campaign execution, spatial production, and post-campaign verification — at custom-quoted project pricing. The company is a member of the Japan Promotional Marketing Association and maintains offices in Tokyo (headquarters and Kagurazaka Studio) and Osaka. Ownership appears family-controlled, with Saito Kota serving as Representative Director and Saito Kyoei as Chairman; no external funding, M&A, or parent-company relationship is disclosed, though Neurotech Co., Ltd. (ニューロテック株式会社) is identified as a group company.
