Lewis PR sets up shop in Japan

SINGAPORE - Lewis PR has expanded into Japan, marking the agency's 33rd office opening globally.

The office will be led by general manager, Fred Tanaka (pictured), who will report to Erin Atan, senior vice-president of Lewis Asia-Pacific. Tanaka joins Lewis from boutique agency PR Bank, which he founded in 2005.

"Japan is a thriving market for the consumer, corporate and biosciences sectors, and as an agency that is independent and fast-growing in these areas, we see a potential to establish our brand through our integrated and flexible proposition to the market," said Atan.

Lewis PR Tokyo adds to offices already in operation in five countries in Asia-Pacific including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, and Singapore.
