Organic UGC / Instagram
Dash Living
No local team. No Japanese. +40% bookings after launch.
+40% instant booking increase, client-reported.
Overview
When Ashley Ho took over content marketing for Dash Living Japan, she inherited a problem: content wasn't resonating, she wasn't based in Japan, didn't speak Japanese, had no local creator network, and didn't know what worked for Tokyo audiences. She needed someone on the ground.
What we did
- Created authentic guest-perspective UGC — not professional room photography.
- Designed every piece to feel native to Instagram, not like a brand ad.
- Handled all creator management in Japanese: sourcing, briefing, coordination, and quality review.
- Every creative decision was made with the booking funnel in mind.
