What Asoviva.LLC does

Asoviva LLC is a Tokyo-based B2B PR communications agency founded in March 2019 as a 100% subsidiary of La Crèta Inc. The firm provides integrated communications services to international companies seeking entry into the Japanese market and to Japanese companies pursuing overseas expansion. Its service portfolio is organized around five interconnected modules: Comms Strategy, Public Relations, Digital Marketing, Advertisement, and Sales Promotion, with PR serving as the central offering and retainer-based engagements forming the core commercial relationship.

The agency's underlying capability rests on established media relationships across Japanese local, national, and digital outlets, bilingual English-Japanese execution, and affiliation with the IPREX global communications network (1,600 staff, 110 offices, $420M network scale) and the Automotive PR global network. Supporting partnerships with Tabula (UI/UX), Birdman (creative), GONDOLA (digital marketing), and HALF TIME (sport marketing) extend service surface without in-house build-out. Documented delivery outcomes include 152 media coverages and ¥16M+ ad equivalency for the Ultrahuman Ring Japan launch, 200+ coverages over two years for a Webroot/OpenText cybersecurity retainer, and 20%+ CTR for a Y.U-mobile digital campaign.

The business operates as a professional services firm with sales-led GTM, direct enterprise engagement, and quote-based pricing determined by project scope and retainer terms. The client base spans enterprise accounts across technology, telecommunications, healthcare, automotive, wearables, and consumer goods, including Amazon, Rakuten, NTT Docomo, Docomo Healthcare, Philips, Johnson & Johnson, Citizen Watch, Panasonic, Verizon, and OrCam. Leadership comprises co-founders Hiroshi Yasunaga (Joint CEO), Keisuke Maeda (President & CEO, 17+ years PR experience), and Masashi Otobe (Co-partner).
