TOKYO, JAPAN, May 22, 2023 — The Gen Z Study Group (Z-Ken) created by CARTA
COMMUNICATIONS Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Taku Meguro, Representative Director,
President; “CCI”), a group company of CARTA HOLDINGS, Inc. and Uniiique, an entertainment
production company, jointly held the first Gen Z MTG (meeting) in cooperation with ROHTO
Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

The Gen Z MTG is a unique opportunity offered by Z-Ken and Uniiique, allowing brands to
engage in a conversation directly with Gen Z creators and hear real opinions from them, such
as how they perceive certain things or if they think this product will sell. Creators may be invited
to a food tasing event as well. The GenZ MTG will be officially launched in June.
As brands are increasingly focusing on the Gen Z market, Z-Ken, a research specialist on the
reality and trends on Gen Z consumers, and Uniiique, also a talent agency with Gen Z
influencers and creators, decided to help brands with the generation’s insight analysis and how
to capture the market.

The first Gen Z MTG was held for ROHTO Pharmaceutical and three Gen Z TikTok creators
including Ryoka Orita, Tomoka Takasuka and Shiori offered candid opinions and suggestions
for improvements regarding video content posted by the brand to its official account from a
Gen Z perspective.
ROHTO representatives commented as follows:
“They help us realize that your message won’t resonate with your audience if it’s just telling
them what you want to tell them, whether it’s TikTok or some other social platforms. When you
think about how you want consumers to perceive your brand and products, how you title your
video is important; you must choose words your audience can relate to.”
“In addition to advice on posting video content, we also received candid opinions on the three
products currently on the market, giving us new insights into how we can pitch our products
in many different ways.”
“From a creator’s perspective, they offered suggestions on what video they would make and
how, which video and what part of the video resonated with them among those posted on our
official account. They also suggested improvements.”
