## **Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in Japan**

### **Why The Asahi Shimbun Digital Matters in Japan**

The Asahi Shimbun is one of Japan's national daily newspapers, and its digital service extends that reporting to readers on desktop and mobile. Its audience is part of a market where nearly the whole population is online (95% internet penetration, Reuters Institute Digital News Report, 2021 country profile).

The same report notes that Asahi, Nikkei and Yomiuri were the most successful Japanese publishers at converting readers into online subscribers, which makes The Asahi Shimbun Digital a meaningful destination among news readers who pay for content.

### **What the Published Data Says About the Audience**

- **Registered users.** 3.75 million registrations on Asahi Shimbun Digital (as cited in the Reuters Institute Digital News Report, 2021).
- **Paid subscribers.** 320,000 of those registrations were paid subscribers (same source, 2021).
- **Messaging reach.** 5 million LINE friends receiving news bulletins and alerts (announced February 2021, per the same report).
- **Reader type.** News-engaged professionals and households who follow national, economic and international coverage, in our planning view.

### **A Media Planner's View: Where to Place**

Use The Asahi Shimbun Digital to reach informed Japanese readers through website placements near economy, business and international news. It works well as the news-credibility layer of a wider Japan plan, alongside business-focused titles and airport media.

Our team recommends concentrating budget around key moments, such as earnings periods, major market or policy news, and travel seasons, and pairing Japanese-language creative with a clear single message. Frequency caps and sensible exclusions keep the audience premium.

### **Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here**

The Asahi Shimbun Digital is the online home of a national Japanese daily, and it suits advertisers who want credibility among informed readers. For financial services, property, luxury, travel and corporate brands, a website placement here puts the message beside serious news coverage that business and investor readers return to.

**How we would use it.** Our team would plan website placements around the economy, business and international news areas, with timing tied to results seasons, market events and your campaign window. Creative is adapted into Japanese, with English supporting material where useful.

**Our guidance.** This is a website-only plan, so our team builds it around digital placements and sets the creative, targeting and flighting to your brief.

### **How We Would Run Your The Asahi Shimbun Digital Campaign**

We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.

The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted for Japanese, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
