(headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Miyuki Ito, President; hereinafter “ACCA”), a web marketing support company, announced on July 26, 2023 a business alliance with Filmmakers Club Inc. (headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Masato Tanaka, President; hereinafter “Filmmakers Club”), a film and advertising vision planning and production company, on July 26, 2023, announcing a business alliance in the area of OOH marketing.
Providing open innovation through co-creation and DXing
ACCA will focus on creating new services by developing open innovation through co-creation and DXing with other companies, utilizing the web marketing skills it has cultivated.
As a first step, ACCA aims to create new OOH marketing solutions through co-creation with Filmmakers Club.
About Filmmakers Club
Filmmakers Club is engaged in film and video planning and production, street vision planning and screening, and CSR content planning and management. Through this alliance, the two companies will jointly develop “OOH marketing” solutions that utilize Filmmakers Club’s multiple vision advertising slots and product statements within films.
About Filmmakers Club’s Street Vision Features
Street visions are usually considered to be available only to large corporations and some of the major entertainment and music companies, etc. However, Filmmakers Club is not limited to large corporations, but also offers a wide variety of content, from commercial films for individual businesses and small to medium-sized companies, to films that convey the dreams and hopes of young people, and promotional films for local municipalities, NPOs, and other organizations. We actively broadcast a wide variety of content, from commercials for private businesses and small and medium-sized companies, to videos that convey the dreams and hopes of young people, not just for profit, to promotional videos for local municipalities and NPOs.
The creative approach makes it possible to offer the use of street visions to a wider range of companies and organizations. This allows us to provide an environment where local small and medium-sized businesses and young creators can easily advertise and promote their products.
The partnership with Filmmakers Club will open up new possibilities for OOH marketing. More and more organizations, including small and medium enterprises, local governments, and NPOs, will be able to use street visions to develop branding and PR activities.
Example of Filmmakers Club’s street vision broadcast
Filmmakers Club’s street vision broadcasting service can meet a wide variety of needs. The flexibility and simplicity of vision advertising allows small businesses, sole proprietors, and individuals to effectively communicate their messages.
The following are just a few examples

■ Use of Vision Ads and Product Statements
In addition to vision ads, it is also possible to effectively introduce a specific product or brand in the film as a prop or background within a Filmmakers Club film. This type of advertising technique is called a product statement, and maximizes the visual impact and reach of the target audience through the media mix.
