“Yesterday I took my Tokyo HQ Leaders through We Are Japan. They LOVED it. I was so happy. I realise it is because of you. For so many years you have tirelessly helped me establish this concept and made it come alive literally in everything we do. So I wanted to thank you for helping me without even being here. I owe it to to you.”

"It was clear from the very first meeting with Kemosabe that they understood our culture and purpose on a very different level to anyone else we had spoken to, which is a hard task with us. The understanding of where our brand was, had been and where we saw it being taken was captured perfectly… we achieved the unimaginable; a brand that everyone company and client-wide agreed beautifully grasped who we now are as a company"
