Trenders Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Ryoko Kurokawa; TSE Growth Market: Stock Code 6069) has entered into a business partnership with L Media Group LLC (Headquarters: New York State, USA; Founder & CEO: Miki Herme Morita), a New York-based agency specializing in PR and marketing for the fashion and beauty industries, to support the expansion of J-Beauty brands in the United States.
Purpose of the Partnership and Future Initiatives
Trenders, through its beauty marketing team 'ampule,' provides comprehensive marketing support for Japanese beauty brands, including social media campaigns and pop-up event management both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, L Media Group, based in New York, operates global PR and marketing services focused on the fashion and beauty sectors. Centered on the operation of two editions of the business media platform 'Oui Speak Fashion (OSF)'—the English-language global edition and the Japanese-language 'OSF Japan' edition targeting the Japanese market—the agency offers marketing support connecting brands with the North American market, including brand strategy, content marketing, and influencer marketing.
Through this partnership, Trenders will combine its extensive network of Japanese beauty brands with L Media Group’s PR, media, and marketing capabilities in the North American market to provide more comprehensive support for J-Beauty’s expansion in the U.S. Additionally, the two companies will leverage their respective networks and expertise to strengthen international outreach, expand global brand recognition, and create new business-matching opportunities, delivering innovative value to Japanese beauty brands.
◆ Comment from Miki Herme Morita, Founder & CEO of L Media Group LLC
Japanese beauty brands hold significant potential in the U.S. market due to their high quality, advanced technology, and refined aesthetic sensibilities. However, expanding brand awareness and establishing distribution channels locally require tailored brand storytelling, media exposure, and direct consumer engagement strategies aligned with the U.S. market.
We are excited to collaborate and drive meaningful initiatives that will help Japanese beauty brands gain new fans and business opportunities in the U.S. market.
◆ Comment from Asami Iida, Representative of ampule at Trenders
To further elevate J-Beauty’s presence in the global market, it is essential not only for individual brands to make standalone efforts but also to position Japanese beauty as a unified cultural value. This partnership represents a new step forward—combining Trenders’ expertise in beauty marketing with L Media Group’s PR and media network in North America, along with world-class creative and editorial perspectives—to visually communicate the appeal of J-Beauty in a modern, globally resonant way. This initiative will provide more practical support for Japanese brands’ overseas expansion. Beyond increasing brand awareness and expanding distribution, we aim to elevate the value of the J-Beauty category itself and contribute to building a sustainable ecosystem for Japan’s beauty industry to grow globally.
