A brief introduction to Hakuhodo’s leading digital agencies

Hakuhodo International recently held Hakuhodo Digital Network Summit 2023, a two day in-person event bringing together the leading digital agencies across the Hakuhodo global network. Eighteen agencies representing 13 countries and regions, and a total of 62 people converged in Bangkok, Thailand, making it the largest in-person digital event held by Hakuhodo International.

Hakuhodo’s digital network has been rapidly expanding over the past few years, most recently with Kingdom Digital (Malaysia) joining the Hakuhodo family, along with the launch last year of H+, a cross-company strategic organization. With the demand for digital marketing increasing at a staggering rate, laying the groundwork for potential collaborations across the network and the exchange of knowledge, is needed now more than ever.

After gathering online for the past three years, this was the first time for the entire Hakuhodo digital network to gather in person. To foster and build new connections across the Hakuhodo global network, attendees took part in special tailored programs and a workshop with the overarching theme of “Fearless Collaboration.”

 

The Hakuhodo group offers a wide array of solutions and services in the digital field. Below is a brief introduction of the strengths and capabilities of the digital agencies across the Hakuhodo global network, listed by country.
