Portrait of Ariya Yamamoto

Founder, Arkeno

Ariya Yamamoto山本 亜利哉

Hello. I am Ariya Yamamoto, the founder of Arkeno.

Since I started out in digital advertising, one thing has never stopped bothering me. A product is good, a service is good, and still it is not reaching the people who need it. I have watched it happen again and again, and I cannot leave it alone.

The reason it fails to arrive is rarely the advertising itself. What happens after the enquiry, how the company runs internally, who it hires — the real cause usually sits further back than the visible one. So I make a point of working on what lies underneath, not only on what is in front of me.

AI has made possible what was not possible before. Not using AI for its own sake, but using it to raise what people and products can already do — that is how I think it should be used.

I am not trying to build a large company. What I want is to take the marketing and systems work I have spent years on, and widen the circle of work done with love, one piece at a time. That is what Arkeno is for.
