Elixir, an aging care brand born in Japan in 1983, has been pursuing a sense of reliability and a fulfilling comfort by gathering advanced collagen science for over 40 years. It has achieved the number one position in Japan for 19 consecutive years and is one of Shiseido's important brands that is expanding its reach to Asia and the world, paving the way for the future of Shiseido. The mission of Elixir is to embrace aging as a part of life, stating, "Aging is living. Through the daily miracles felt on the skin, we love this skin and this life." Aging is essentially living itself. We aim for a future where everyone can positively celebrate aging, free from the constraints of age or life stages. We have always believed that what supports this positive attitude is "skin" and "daily skincare." By cherishing oneself through daily skincare, these small accumulations lead to a beautiful "radiance" on the cheeks and enrich the heart. When the skin shines, life itself becomes precious, and that light gently illuminates those around us and the world. Elixir will continue to be a premium aging care brand representing Asia, originating from Japan, providing support and brilliance to each individual's life. As a senior staff member in the marketing field, you will lead the communication strategy planning and asset development for the Japan region. You will formulate hypotheses from perspectives such as market, brand, consumers, customers, and competitors in important initiatives, collect and analyze necessary data and information, and extract communication challenges. In the Japan region, you will lead asset development, including TV commercials, and propose marketing plans (IMC plans, perception flow, marketing calendar, pricing, in-store displays) to achieve goals in line with brand strategy and regional strategy. You will develop creative briefs in accordance with the perception flow, utilizing global assets, while leading agencies and related departments to create creative assets for the Japan region. This is a very challenging environment where you can develop communication strategies and assets for new and existing products aimed at customers residing in Japan as a brand holder at Elixir's headquarters (HQ). As the number one brand in sales in Japan for 19 years, we broadcast one of the largest TV commercials in the cosmetics industry, allowing you to see the nationwide rollout of the developed assets up close, making it a very rewarding job. Additionally, with the acceleration of global expansion, you will also be involved in inbound and cross-region developments, making it a valuable brand where you can participate in the overseas rollout of the value developed in Japan.
