Hakuhodo is the second largest advertising company in Japan and the seventh largest in the world. This initiative will enable ICG/Thinc to benefit from the considerable resources of one of Asia’s largest integrated advertising, marketing and creative services groups to help accelerate its business growth throughout the Asia Pacific region.

It’s a massive development for all of us at the Thinc family, and we would like to assure everyone that our business dealings will carry on as usual, if not, for the better!

Thinc will retain our name and identity (yes, our trademark chewed up pencil is still alive and kicking!), and continue to operate independently, with all our team members committed as ever to driving the relationship forward with everyone.

To everyone who have supported us in our fledging journey thus far: a big thank you! Without you, we wouldn’t be here. We have now grown our little wings, but this will always be our nest, and we will always come home to roost!
