TOKYO, JAPAN, December 9, 2024 — CARTA COMMUNICATIONS Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Taku Meguro, Representative Director and President; “CCI”), a group company of CARTA HOLDINGS, Inc., implemented a Must-Buy campaign on LINE for Chubushiryo Co., LTD. (Nagoya-shi, Aichi; Harunobu Hirano, Representative Director and President; “Chubushiryo”) in collaboration with its KNOTBOX marketing platform and a digital gifting service Digico operated by its group company DIGITALIO Inc. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Kazuyuki Furuya, Representative Director and CEO, Atsushi Ando, Representative Director and COO; “DIGITALIO”).

KNOTBOX is a set of LINE API tools developed by CCI that collect, analyze and visualize user information related to LINE official accounts.
Digico is a digital gifting service that allows businesses to send its namesake digital gift, or “Digico”, that a recipient can convert to gift cards and mobile payment apps of their choice, including PayPay, Amazon Gift Cards, QUO card Pay, nanaco gifts, WAON point ID, Apple Gift Cards, Google Play gift codes, PeX point gifts, and more, at no initial or monthly cost.
For Chubushiryo, the goal was to increase awareness and promote sales of its flagship product Goma Tamago after its relaunch. To help achieve this goal, CCI decided to run a Must-Buy campaign in which users could participate by adding their LINE official account as a friend then scanning a physical receipt from a store purchase.
By linking KNOTBOX and Digico, everything from a campaign entry to the lottery and to awarding points was completed on the LINE platform. The campaign successfully helped the company increase product awareness and sales.
