J-Lease (TYO:7187) will acquire 100% of AFB, a general advertising agency in Oita Prefecture, for 7 million yen on July 25, according to its Tokyo bourse filing on Tuesday.
The acquisition aims to integrate AFB's media networks and advertising expertise-including TV, radio, and digital production-to enhance J-LEASE's marketing strategies, particularly for real estate client services like virtual property tours.
The move aligns with J-LEASE's growth strategy to expand its rent-guarantee business through synergies with AFB's local broadcast and corporate client base in Kyushu.
