Whilst focusing on broadcasting local news programs, BS YOSHIMOTO aims to not only disseminate information but also to solve challenges each local community faces.
transcosmos has been contributing to local communities in creating job opportunities and revitalizing their economies by opening centers and offices for its diverse businesses including contact centers, digital marketing, e-commerce, and BPO throughout Japan. Now, endorsing BS YOSHIMOTO's management philosophy that aims to vitalize local economies, transcosmos has decided to invest in BS YOSHIMOTO. In partnership with BS YOSHIMOTO, transcosmos will reinforce its efforts in vitalizing local economies.
transcosmos also provides municipalities and clients across Japan with a variety of services that help promote their digital transformation (DX). Going forward, in addition to its ads services – mainly digital ads -, transcosmos plans to provide BS YOSHIMOTO with many more services such as selling television advertising airtime and offering opportunities to be cast in BS YOSHIMOTO's programs. Along with this capital participation, Norimitsu Miyazawa, Corporate Executive Officer at transcosmos, will become a director of BS YOSHIMOTO.
"We, BS YOSHIMOTO, are delighted that transcosmos will invest in our company," Yutaka Inagaki, President at BS YOSHIMOTO said. "Under the theme of vitalizing local economies, BS YOSHIMOTO will solve challenges each community faces, provide opportunities for local members to start their own business through our programs, sell local produce via e-commerce, and broadcast our programs in Japan and abroad. The partnership with transcosmos is vital for all those initiatives.
