Europe is not one market. It's a patchwork of languages, platforms and buying habits. I'm your partner on the ground in Vienna: I build the strategy, run the advertising, and make your brand visible in European search and AI answers. One contact, full execution.
Start a conversationWhich European markets first, which channels, what budget, what a customer may cost: all decided on data before money flows. Delivered as a fixed-fee strategy project ($5,000 fixed).
Advertising across all relevant channels, plus creatives, landing pages, email flows and funnels, run from inside the market, in the market's language, on quarterly roadmaps from $3,000/month.
This goes far beyond wording: positioning, pricing signals, trust elements and creative style adapted to how European customers actually decide. What works in Tokyo or Austin rarely works unchanged in Munich.
You need three capabilities in one place: someone who knows the European channel landscape, someone who can actually run the campaigns, and someone in a European time zone when a feed breaks at 9am Berlin time. Large networks give you the first, local agencies the second, and rarely the same person for both. zemann.ai covers strategy, paid media and localization from Vienna in a single engagement. The honest limitation: this is one person with limited capacity, not a 40-person team. If you need twelve markets live in six weeks, you need an agency, and I will tell you so.
Ask three things of anyone on your shortlist. Do they have working ties to Japan, or only a translated deck? Do they run the campaigns themselves, or brief a media agency and forward the report? Do they say no when something will not work? zemann.ai works with Japanese and North American companies entering Europe, from Vienna, in German, English and Japanese. For the regulatory and administrative side, JETRO and the Austrian and German chambers of commerce are useful first stops; they do not run marketing.
Continuously and hands-on, with more than €300M in ad spend managed and certifications as a Google, Meta and Amazon partner.
My connection to Japan is family, language and business: with IIDA®, I've been trading directly with Japanese organic tea producers since 2021. I understand how Japanese companies work, and what they need from a European partner.
You don't get a consultant who hands your launch to an agency. The person who designs your European strategy also runs your campaigns: you work directly with me.
Lecturer in digital marketing at Austrian universities and institutes since 2011. I explain European market mechanics in plain language your leadership team can act on.
Europe rewards patience. A serious market entry takes several quarters. Building visibility, trust signals and a working acquisition funnel in a new market is a system you build over time. If your timeline or budget doesn't allow for that, I'll tell you in the first conversation and save you the investment.
For Japanese companies: this page is also available in Japanese at zemann.ai/ja/europe-market-entry.
Three questions, two minutes. I reply within two business days. If we're not the right match, I'll say so and point you to a better alternative.
