Is your Japan launch stuck at execution?
You have contacts.
You don’t have time.
Translation, research, local rollout — every new step and market adds another vendor to manage. Briefing, chasing updates, aligning terminology. The strategy you should be working on keeps getting pushed aside.
You have vendors.
You don’t have a partner.
The research comes back. The translation gets done. But every time, you are explaining it all from scratch — your jargon, your regulations, your market. No one who truly understands your business and can act on it.
The Japanese is flawless.
It still doesn’t sell.
The grammar is correct. Legal is fine. Yet the Japanese market just does not respond — in meetings, in ads, on your website. The message gets across, but it does not convert.
The common thread: your Japan effort is scattered across separate vendors.
What you need is one in-market team.
Every step of your Japan market entry, handled by one team.
AtGlobal supports you end to end — from strategy through execution — in the Japanese market. Every service is built on our proprietary CQ Business® method. With execution that understands both language and culture, we work as an extension of your team, on the ground in Japan.

CQ Business®
CQ (Cultural Intelligence Quotient) is the skill of judging and acting effectively across cultures. Over 20 years localizing marketing for major U.S. companies, we learned that linguistic accuracy alone does not produce results in-market.
That experience became CQ Business®, our proprietary method. Transcreation, interpreting, research, marketing, in-market sales, and training — every service we offer is built on a CQ perspective.
Replace four or five separate vendors with one team.
AtGlobal is your one partner for the Japanese market — supporting you from entry through growth.
Services
AtGlobal offers services across seven areas. Use any one on its own — or have us handle every part of entering Japan in one place.

More than a translation vendor
We're your in-market team. Unlike a translation-only provider, we offer interpreting, research, training and more — everything you need to enter and grow in Japan. Our strength is proposing the right mix and supporting you from strategy through execution, in one place.
Quality and confidentiality, assured to international standards.
We handle contracts, IR materials, patents, product specs, customer lists, and market-entry strategy — much of it confidential information that could affect your business if leaked. That is why we back our quality and information management with independent, third-party certification.
ISO 17100
The international standard for translation service quality. We apply it to translator selection, project management, and revision — so quality stays consistent even when your point of contact changes.
ISO 27001
The international standard for information security management. We apply it to handling confidential materials — contracts, financials, technical specs — where leaks are not an option.
Privacy Mark
Japan's national certification for personal information protection. We apply it to the handling of customer lists, HR records, and other personal data — so your sensitive information remains secure throughout the entire process.
