Business seminar to learn about “story” which is important for information dissemination
The extraordinary thoughts of people struggling all over Japan and the products/services that have been created from them are countless. We believe that public relations leads to the growth of local businesses, the development of the local economy, and the resolution of problems, such as expanding sales channels, business partners, and alliances through the dissemination of information. This time, we will be holding a seminar to learn about public relations and watching a game at Esconfield HOKKAIDO, the home of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, who have many fans with roots in Hokkaido.
In addition to its vast land and tourism resources, Hokkaido is home to Sapporo, one of the largest cities in the country, and is home to many companies in a wide range of industries and business sizes. We aim to provide an opportunity for Hokkaido businesses to feel that public relations is an effective means for the growth of their companies and the region.

What is Forbes JAPAN SMALL GIANTS?
The Japanese version of the global business magazine “Forbes” A project run by “JAPAN” that features small but great companies with roots in the region, as well as leaders and innovators from around the world. In Japan, there are still many companies and local governments that are unknown but have great potential to open up the future. Through “media,” “awards,” and “projects,” we
disseminate content that serves as a guidepost for leaders who are “small” in scale and name recognition, but are “giants” in value, and shine a spotlight on “small giants.” I’m aiming to hit it. Guest: Masaharu Fujiyoshi, Editor-in-Chief, Forbes JAPAN, Director of Link Tides Co., Ltd.

TIMES helps disseminate information filled with your thoughts to the world. While modern society is overflowing with information and is often convenient, it has become difficult for an individual or business to “convey” information, let alone “get it across” to someone else. However, everyone still has feelings that they want to convey and want to be conveyed. This time, Mr. Fujiyoshi will talk about the essential elements for spreading your thoughts widely. We hope that this event will give you a boost and provide you with a place where you can take home some tips for public relations activities.
Business seminar x baseball game held at Esconfield HOKKAIDO PR from 2024
TIMES has become the official sponsor of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Using the venue of Esconfield HOKKAIDO, the team’s home base, we will be holding a PR seminar and a Fighters game in special seats to provide Hokkaido business operators with content that will make them want to know more about PR and make more use of it. We will hold a networking event through watching the games.
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters made Hokkaido their home base in 2004 and have been loved by the region as the first professional baseball team in the prefecture. Esconfield HOKKAIDO, the new baseball stadium that opened in 2023, attracted 3.46 million visitors in its first year, and is having a positive impact not only on the surrounding area, but also on the Hokkaido economy, including lodging, dining, and railways. Because fans love their local teams, we believe that by making them aware of PR’s potential to contribute to regional revitalization, they will consider making further use of PR. In addition to the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, our company has become an official sponsor of the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks and a support company for the Hanshin Tigers for the 2024 season.
