The Final Issue: BCCJ ACUMEN

Custom Media KK and the BCCJ would like to announce that the May edition of BCCJ Acumen will be the final issue of the magazine.

After more than 12 years of publishing the magazine the decision to end the production of Acumen was not taken lightly and comes amidst growing environmental concerns, a declining market for print, and a new media landscape of digitisation.

The special final issue of the magazine will be packed with contributions from past, present and future leaders, ambassadors, industry specialists, journalists and others from the British community in Japan. This issue will also feature the BCCJ’s 2022 vision project, “Brave Conversations, Positive Transformations”, with a focus on its three pillars of Digital & Tech Innovation, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Responsible Business.

We would like to thank Custom Media—in particular co-founder and publisher Simon Farrell and CEO Robert Heldt—for their support and partnership over the years.
