~Teaming up with derive to provide a field where YouTubers can thrive~
GMO TECH, Inc. (President and CEO: Suzuki Akito, hereinafter referred to as "GMO TECH"), a GMO Internet Group company that provides online customer acquisition services, has launched the "YouTuber Development Project" in collaboration with derive Inc. (President and CEO: Sawaguri Kouki, hereinafter referred to as "derive"), a production company that specializes in developing YouTubers and consulting for corporate YouTube channels.
Applicants will be selected through a screening process and will begin accepting applications on Thursday, March 7, 2019.
[Background to launch]
Recently, it has become a hot topic that YouTuber is one of the top career aspirations of elementary and junior high school students, and there is a growing interest and admiration for YouTubers and other influencers among young people.
In this context, derive believed that supporting the dreams of people who want to "work hard as a job" and "get noticed by a wide range of fans" through the internet would lead to job creation and the creation of new forms of entertainment. GMO TECH also believed that an increase in talented YouTubers would lead to more opportunities for advertisers (clients) to develop various advertising projects.
Therefore, GMO TECH has collaborated with derive to launch the "YouTuber Development Project," which provides lectures on the skills and abilities required for YouTubers and supports their career development.
[About the YouTuber Development Project]
GMO TECH will recruit and screen those who wish to work as YouTubers. Those who pass the screening will receive lectures under derive's management on video shooting know-how, planning, and channel management, which are required to actually succeed as a YouTuber. In addition, talented YouTubers will receive support for their career development, such as being used in planning advertisements and events for GMO TECH's clients.
