Scroll Philosophy Message Our Team Mission Maximizing the Inherent Value through the power of Communication What we aim for is not temporary exposure or buzz. It’s about carefully uncovering a company’s “inherent value,” re-examining how it connects to solving societal issues, articulating it, and shaping it into a concrete form. This “process for external communication” also positively impacts internal communication, bringing about positive changes in the awareness of those involved. This is deeply connected to the core of “human capital management,” which is currently gaining attention. Network Communications aims to rediscover companies’ potential through an external perspective and the power of dialogue, transforming communication into a force that drives the future. Vision To become a Global Communications Agency that supports people and businesses behind the scenes Transforming uncommunicated value into societal potential.To a global communications agency that supports businesses. In Japan, there are many companies with outstanding technology and a strong sense of mission whose true value is not adequately recognized. We aim to communicate these “unseen strengths” to society, thereby contributing to their growth and market re-evaluation. Through PR, IR, and internal communication, we aim to foster trust between companies and their stakeholders. We strive to create a “virtuous cycle of value,” where these activities generate new business impact and resonate with colleagues working together. Furthermore, we aim to be a team that can design and execute comprehensive communication strategies, not only in the Japanese market but also addressing risks faced by globally expanding companies. We never lose sight of the perspective of “protecting and nurturing value.” Values OPEN MINDA willingness to adapt and be flexible Be sincere and of high integrity A Communication Agency’s work is built upon trust between people. As corporate and individual behaviors become more visible through social media and digital platforms, we continuously refine our professional sensitivity and integrity, always striving to be a “trustworthy presence”. Exhibit strong ownership We immerse ourselves deeply in companies and products as if we were part of the client’s own team.We carefully identify their needs and offer flexible support, from building internal PR structures to providing practical assistance.As a trusted advisor to management, we strategically align PR functions while staying attuned to the current climate. Value the balance between composure and passion It’s important to approach things with passion.However, in an era where the risks of communication are increasing, we must maintain a calm perspective.We propose both the “accelerator and the brake,” including risk hedging, and with enthusiasm yet caution, we walk the optimal path alongside our clients. Our Goals Message “Believe in the power of communication”That is a principle we always value As Communication Professionals Network Communications aims to be an “architect of dialogue” that connects organizations with society.We strive to understand the overall structure and bridge the gaps that exist between management and the front lines, and between companies and society, by expressing them with appropriate language and fostering connections. One of the perspectives we highly value is the idea of “communication that instills pride in people.”Every time we witness moments like “I’ve become proud of my work,” “The management’s vision reached the entire company, making the organization more proactive,” or “External trust became visible,” we are reminded that communication indeed has the power to move people and organizations. In recent years, we’ve come to believe that the true value lies within the “byproducts” generated through PR.For example, the articulation of Mission, Vision, and Values; the discovery of positive case studies from the field; the identification of organizational challenges revealed by streamlining information flow; and the innovation that arises from deeply understanding each other.When an external perspective is introduced, positive changes occur within the organization, leading to greater understanding and action among employees.This entire flow is what we consider the “chain of value.” The Role of Communication in Companies Furthermore, as an outside director for various companies, from startups to Prime-listed corporations, I personally experience the daily importance of human capital management, ethics, governance, and building trust with the capital market.What’s needed in the coming era is a perspective that sincerely examines how a company’s work contributes to solving societal issues, what value is involved, and how to communicate that to bring about positive change in society. To meet these demands, Network Communications views communication not merely as a means of disseminating information, but as a ‘strategic asset’ that enhances corporate value. We work closely with clients on-site, from establishing PR functions and building organizational structures to providing project-based execution support. All our staff will continue to support the movement of the future through the power of dialogue, with the perspective and passion of an “insider.”Moving forward, we will sincerely and flexibly advance, always believing in the potential of communication. President and CEO Naoko Okada Naoko Okada / Born in Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture After graduating, I began my career in sales at Sun Microsystems. Through my daily work, I discovered the fascinating breadth and depth of business, gradually becoming aware of future entrepreneurial aspirations. Later, I moved to a software development venture company, gaining practical experience in addition to earning an MBA from Rikkyo University Graduate School. Drawn to the field of public relations, I was responsible for establishing the PR function at EC Navi (now CARTA Holdings). While also involved in business management as the head of the management division, I keenly realized the importance of communication in connecting companies with society. In 2009, I left the company to establish Network Communications Inc. Since then, I have consistently aimed to expand the possibilities of companies through “the power of communication,” providing support that includes branding through PR and consulting on internal communication strategies.
