Dentsu Copywriter

profile

Copywriter and lyricist. Founder of "Making a living through planning." After joining Dentsu, he was assigned to the Human Resources Department. After passing the creative exam, he began working as a copywriter in his second year at the company. He defines his job as "planning words" and aims to become a "creative director" who engages with society while expanding the power of advertising creativity. His books include "It won't start if you just wait. Move forward with integrity" (Kobundo), "Super word techniques that capture the heart that even non-copywriters should know" (Diamond Inc.), "That might be a selfish assumption? Practice "interpretation" without being bound by someone else's correct answer" (Discover 21), and "Seven notes to help you become a new you, the one who wasn't chosen that day" (Diamond Inc.).
