TONIQ's Yuki Kimura Joins ad:tech tokyo 2026 Speaker Lineup
A conference session built around an IP tie-in and CRM retention is a working answer to the industry's habit of treating attendance spikes as the goal rather than the entry point.

TONIQ Inc. representative director Yuki Kimura will speak at ad:tech tokyo 2026, held at Tokyo Midtown from October 21 to 23, 2026, with a booth at B5. On October 22, 13:00 to 13:40 at Exhibition Stage2, he joins J.League marketing director Shohei Takebuchi and Sanfrecce Hiroshima's Shun Yamaji and Akira Hamada to discuss using data and CRM to turn stadium attendance into repeat visits.
The session is framed around a distinction TONIQ draws between acquiring new visitors and keeping them. Sanfrecce Hiroshima is the case study, and the title asks how IP and data together built enthusiasm rather than a full house alone. Kimura founded TONIQ in 2024 after a stint at Dentsu Digital, where he spent about three and a half years stationed at NTT Docomo working on marketing, data utilization, and CRM. The company positions itself as neither a consulting firm nor a production company, but as what it calls a co-creation-type implementation partner that enters a client and stays through implementation and operational setup.
