Dear Members of the German Chamber of Commerce in Japan,
My name is Andreas Dannenberg and I am the founder and CEO of Ad-comm Group, a strategic branding and marketing agency based in Tokyo. I established the company 38 years ago with the vision of building a bridge between international and Japanese business cultures through effective brand communication. Today, Ad-comm serves a diverse range of clients — from leading German and European corporations to some of Japan’s most respected companies — across multiple industries.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped companies navigate the complex Japanese market, advising executive teams on how to position their brands, manage reputations, and connect authentically with local audiences. As an entrepreneur and long-time resident of Japan, I understand both the challenges and the opportunities our members face in operating and expanding their businesses here.
Intent & Objectives
I am honored to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of AHK Japan. Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of serving the German business community as a member of the Board, most recently as Deputy Chairman. I now seek your continued trust to further contribute my experience, insight, and commitment to strengthening the Chamber’s mission.
Representing both the perspective of an SME founder and a strategic partner to major industry players and with four decades of building a business in Japan, I aim to continue bringing a balanced, solutions-driven voice to the Board to help our chamber members thrive in this dynamic and highly competitive market.
