For Japanese companies and brands entering Germany

Reach Germany's young audience through creators they trust.

Fairplay Management is a creator marketing agency based in Kiel, Germany. With more than 14 years of experience and our own monthly live show, AT Broski, we put your brand in front of the 16 to 35-year-olds that TV advertising no longer reaches, in the words of the creators they follow.

The first online meeting is free of charge. We are happy to schedule calls in the Japanese late afternoon (German morning).

Why Germany

Germany is the natural first step into Europe.

As the EU's largest economy and population, Germany is also Japan's largest trading partner within the EU. At the same time, young Germans have moved from TV to social media and creators.

01

A market of 84 million

The largest population and economy in the EU. Products that succeed in Germany travel easily across the German-speaking region, including Austria and Switzerland.

02

81% use social media daily

On average 1 hour 40 minutes a day. Meta platforms and TikTok together reach around 57 million users in Germany.

03

Young audiences trust creators

Gen Z and Millennials trust recommendations from creators they follow more than ads. 78% of our own show’s viewers are aged 18 to 34.

04

Interest in Japanese brands

Games, anime, electronics, cars and food from Japan are part of everyday life for young Germans. The task is turning that interest into purchases.

Challenges

Why the playbook from home does not carry over.

Influencer marketing in Germany works on different assumptions. We handle all of them on the ground.

Different platforms

LINE is barely used; people message on WhatsApp. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and live streaming on Twitch carry more weight than X.

Different communication culture

German audiences value directness and humour and are quick to spot over-produced advertising. Results depend on creators speaking in their own words.

Strict disclosure rules

As with Japan’s stealth marketing rules, ads must be clearly labelled. German case law even regulates wording and placement, and violations lead to formal warnings and injunctions.

Choosing the right creators

Follower counts say little about audience quality or brand fit. Long-standing local relationships make the difference.

On Location

From the first idea to the live production, all in-house.

Live events, sim racing tournaments, show production: a few impressions of our work on the ground in Germany.
