FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Kensuke Hosomi; hereinafter “FamilyMart”) has invited NIGO®︎, a globally active creator, to become its creative director. Going forward, NIGO®︎ plans to collaborate with FamilyMart in a wide range of fields, including as creative director for next-generation stores and strategic product categories, supervisor of marketing campaigns, and in the development of next-generation marketing using FamilyMartVision, FamilyMart’s in-store digital signage media.

Convenience stores have evolved into part of the lifestyle infrastructure that offer more than just convenience while catering to changing social trends and customer needs. Their functions have garnered strong recognition from customers globally as a world-class Japanese industry segment and example of its culture for their high quality, safety, reliability, cleanliness, and other features. As a convenience store chain brand originating in Japan, FamilyMart will promote its collaboration with NIGO®︎ to go beyond the established frameworks for convenience stores, evolving into part of the lifestyle infrastructure that further enriches people’s lives.

Comment from NIGO®︎

As Japan continues to garner global attention, convenience stores (konbini) best embody Japan's unique lifestyle and culture. FamilyMart respects creativity and continuously challenges itself to pursue innovation. It is a great honor to announce our partnership with FamilyMart on February 5, 2025. Together, I hope to bring joy to the daily lives of people in Japan and across the globe.
