Media Kit
Reach the people
English marketing misses.
バンクーバーおすすめ — Vancouver Osusume — is our Japanese-language media channel for people living in and moving to Metro Vancouver. It has run since 2024 and is produced entirely by members of the community it covers.
If your customers include Japanese students, working-holiday participants or young professionals, this is where they are already reading.

Measured internally, July 2026. Saves matter more than likes here: people save a post because they intend to go.
Where they are

Reading before they arrive — while agencies, schools and services are still being chosen.
Already on the ground in Metro Vancouver, spending here every week.

Sponsored Instagram carousel
The format our audience saves most. Written and shot by members who use the place themselves, not rewritten from a press release.
Reel
Short vertical video for reach beyond existing followers. Best when there is something physical to show — a room, a dish, a route.
Long-form article
A permanent page on vancouverosusume.com, indexed in Japanese. Keeps working long after the post scrolls away.
Campaign code or event tie-in
A discount code or a co-hosted event when you want something measurable attached to the campaign.

How we work
What we will and won’t do.
- Paid placements are labelled as advertising. We do not run undisclosed promotions.
- We decline campaigns we would not recommend to a friend arriving next month. It is the only reason the engagement holds.
- Copy is written in Japanese by members, from the reader’s point of view. We will share the draft before it runs.
- We report the real numbers afterwards, including the ones that disappointed us.
Start with the outcome.
Tell us who you want walking through the door, and by when. We will say plainly whether we can help.
