While we provide core strategic and operational support directly, we also possess a vast network of Japanese specialists (legal, technical, creative, and industrial). This allows us to assemble and manage the perfect team for your specific project, ensuring you get top-tier expertise without the overhead of multiple contracts.

The Digital X is a Japanese consulting company that provides one-stop digital marketing solutions driven with the aim to tackle the long-existing issue of “ be/coming international” faced by most domestic organisations and/or local firms.

We help both private and collective brands achieve stronger positioning and drive sales results.

Our history dates back to the 1990s, when we first operated as the Government of Murcia’s offices abroad. In 2003, following privatization, we evolved into a foreign trade consultancy based in Spain, expanding to 14 international offices and forming strategic global partnerships.

Since then, we have successfully completed over 1,000 consulting projects. In 2011, we launched our marketing agency division, and since then, we have managed more than 7 million euros in international promotional activities.

Our marketing division operates as a Boutique Agency, offering:

• Personalized Service: We focus on providing customized marketing solutions for a select group of clients, ensuring a hands-on, tailored approach.

• Specialized Expertise: Our in-depth knowledge spans both industry and service, with a strong emphasis on event marketing for the food and beverage sector, including work with companies and associations.

• Small, Close-Knit Team: With a compact team compared to larger agencies, we can make decisions quickly and communicate directly, ensuring efficient execution.

• Creative & Innovative Approach: Freed from the bureaucracy of bigger firms, we thrive on creativity and innovation, delivering unique, out-of-the-box campaigns.

• Flexibility & Agility: Our smaller size allows us to stay agile, adapting rapidly to changes, emerging trends, and client needs.

• Exclusive Client Base: We focus on a curated list of clients, ensuring high-quality attention rather than managing large volumes of accounts.

• Close Client Relationships: Building lasting, collaborative relationships is at the heart of our agency. We work closely with each client to align our efforts with their long-term goals.
