As outlined in their press release, Dentsu will offer services to include effective fan page creation and\u00a0maintenance, exclusive access to Facebook Premium Advertising, and offer strategies that will integrate Facebook ads into Dentu&#8217;s infamous mass media campaigns.<br \/>\nWith recent coverage of Facebook in Japan in<a href=\"http:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/2011\/02\/09\/facebook-featured-by-media-like-last-years-twitter-in-japan\/\"> mass media<\/a> and the expsoure from<a href=\"http:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/2011\/01\/25\/facebook-movie-the-social-network-tops-at-its-second-week\/\"> the Social Netowork<\/a>, both the advertising agency world and marketing departments of major Japanese brands are in a state of anxiety and confusion on the best way to integrate Facebook as a part of their brand strategies. And while Facebook Japan <a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialbakers.com\/facebook-statistics\/japan\">lacks robust user numbers<\/a> and growth (when\u00a0compared\u00a0to the explosive rise of Twitter in late 2009, early 2010), major agencies like Dentsu are no doubt scrambling to ride this next social media wave early. Smelling the social marketing\u00a0opportunity, employees at Dentsu were regularly encouraged to use Facebook actively since late last year.<br \/>\nThis deal will also offer Facebook Japan the unique\u00a0opportunity to access Dentu&#8217;s long list of major Japanese clients and multi-million dollar campaign budgets. Facebook Premium Ads, which Dentsu will have a one year exlusive right to, will be pushed through media planning proposals to clients on par with print, OOH, and television.<br \/>\nWhile the past year of Facebook Japan&#8217;s operations has been focused on engineering and laying the foundation for future user\u00a0growth, this deal will represent the first significant attempt for Facebook to capitalize on the massive domestic advertising expenditure of Japanese brands it has yet to capture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dentsu and Facebook Japan have announced today a major deal to appoint Dentsu as the official sales and marketing support\u00a0representative in Japan.
