Marketing & Sales

McKinsey's Marketing & Sales Practice in Japan has a 40-year track record of helping our Japanese and multinational clients grow ahead of the market.

We support clients in areas ranging from consumer-insight-driven product development to differentiated go-to-market strategies. We bring a combination of global hands-on experience serving clients across all marketing-and-sales specialties as well as proprietary methodologies and data from McKinsey knowledge capital. For example, our Insights China center provides China's largest consumer survey and detailed macroeconomic data to give clients the ability to pinpoint promising sub-segments and micro-markets that could accelerate growth. Similarly, our recent seminal work devoted to sales-growth strategies was developed through interviews with over 110 top sales executives from multiple sectors and geographies. The findings provide invaluable insight into how to drive sales growth.

Our primary areas of client service include Consumer and Shopper Insights, Advanced Analytics, Sales & Channel, Marketing Return on Investment and Branding, Pricing & Promotions, Customer Lifecycle Management, and Sales & Marketing Organization and Capabilities.
