Actio, which was established in 2003, specialises in the information technology, healthcare and automobile sectors, boasting clients such as Microsoft, NetSuite and Sawai Pharmaceutical.

At a higher level, creating mutual understanding of the unique environments that Japan and the west, and specifically differing approaches to managing communications, will be an essential part of the process,” said David Ko (pictured), Waggener Edstrom executive vice-president and managing director, Asia-Pacific.
