Welcome: APCO

APCO is a global advisory and advocacy firm that works with the world's leading corporations, foundations, and governments to help them navigate and thrive in an increasingly complex, and at times, divisive world. As strategic advisors, creators and communicators, we are best known for our ability to bring diverse people, ideas and stakeholders together; inspire confidence in others; and for the strength of character and entrepreneurism of our people who work beyond traditional boundaries and briefs.

APCO’s Japan office is one of the most diverse in APCO’s global network, attracting multilingual talent who have studied or worked in a dozen countries and who speak at least a half-dozen languages. In addition to creating a dynamic office culture and fostering meaningful collaboration with colleagues outside Japan, our international experience and perspectives, paired with our in-depth local knowledge, enable us to deliver unmatched, world-class counsel and service.​

Our work in Japan spans diverse fields. Partnering with our clients in recent years, we have enacted changes towards sensible national tourism policy; morphed national perceptions on dating apps; and empowered young women to pursue careers in STEM. Our work has also been recognised with numerous awards, including PRWeek’s Best Places to Work Asia, and Forbes’ World’s Best Management Consulting Firms. In Tokyo, our impactful collaboration with Eureka, advancing dating apps into birth rate policy discussions, won international acclaim at PRovoke’s Global SABRE Awards.

Driven by our values of boldness, curiosity, inclusivity and empathy, our team works beyond traditional boundaries to build the un/common ground upon which progress is made.
