ABC HORIZON was proud to work with One World International School (OWIS) on a brand-new marketing event – “Taiken Day”, the first of its kind in Singapore for OWIS. The event invited Japanese families in Singapore to come to Global Indian International School, a school adjacent to the new campus for OWIS.

This event was an intimate, small-group event for the families to see and experience the school first-hand, and learn more about the school from a different perspective, unlike traditional seminars and school fairs. ABC HORIZON was also on hand to help with translation and consultation in Japanese during the event.

The event was a strong success, with a large number of Japanese families attending Taiken Day with their children in tow. ABC HORIZON hosted a workshop to entertain the children, while the parents attended a presentation on OWIS and the benefits of taking their children to their school in the future.

We plan to host more events and partner with more International Schools in the future, to tap our strong relationship with the Japanese-Singapore community, as well as the overall International School Community at large! Stay tuned for more information on events and updates on our works.

We have connected with several Travel partners to explore potential collaboration opportunities post-pandemic. The safety of all consumers and Their preferred accessibility to Tokyo related information remain a top priority in our work. Thus, it was a natural decision that our current plans gravitated towards strengthening Tokyo’s presence online.

Some of the collaborative efforts with regard to beefing Tokyo’s visibility online revolves around delivering a strong, convenient digital experience for the Singapore market.

In line with this angle, TokyoJalanJalan has also recently included an expansive Outdoor-focused category of content. This is geared towards providing relevant travel bites to concerned travelers regarding the typically high-density of Tokyo city. Although nature and scenery may not be at the top of most of our minds when we think of Tokyo, we are excited to introduce a new side of the city in our upcoming plans!

On Wednesday, 7th June, we had an opening ceremony at our new office to celebrate the launch of our new business. Asahi Broadcasting Corporation established a subsidiary, ABC HORIZON in Singapore on 2nd May.

Over one hundred people joined us, including Shaun Seow, CEO of Mediacorp, as well as business partners from Japan, Singapore and the rest of Asia.

At the opening ceremony, our managing directors, Mr. Okinaka and Mr. Honda, gave a brief explanation of the business and their hopes for the future.

They also handed out original ABC HORIZON candy as a souvenir for everyone who came. Our parent company, Asahi Broadcasting Corporation, is located in Osaka, Japan where there is a custom of carrying candy as an ice-breaker and gift for any strangers you might meet. This custom is called Ame-Chan and ABC HORIZON hopes to become a heart-warming communication tool across the region, just like Ame-Chan is back in Osaka.

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to everyone who attended and presented us with beautiful celebratory flowers.
