Your full Tokyo
back-office.

Japanese brand introductions

We're building Nuwave around the brands that define Japan โ€” the BEAMS, Shiseido, Uniqlo, Sony and Muji tier โ€” and the creator partners they look for. Founding creators get first access as those relationships come online.

Deal negotiation

Our team negotiates your rates, usage rights, deliverables, and payment terms on your behalf. Brands respect a managed creator โ€” and your deals reflect that.

Contract & brief review

Every contract is reviewed by our team before you sign. We flag unreasonable exclusivity clauses, content ownership traps, and underpayment before they become your problem.

Career strategy

Quarterly strategy sessions to position you in the Japanese market โ€” which brands to target, which niches to expand into, and how to build a sustainable partnership portfolio.

Brand relationship management

We handle brand communication, revision requests, and approval processes on your behalf. You create. We manage the back-and-forth.

IP & rights protection

Your content is your asset. We ensure brands don't overreach on usage rights and that every deal protects your creative ownership.

็งใŸใกใฎ็›ฎๆจ™What representation is built to deliver

What representation
actually looks like.

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต
More deals, less hustle
What representation does

The goal of representation: take a fashion creator from a handful of one-off deals a year to a steady, managed portfolio โ€” including retainers and multi-market campaigns โ€” without the cold pitching.

Managed portfolio
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท
Doors you can't open alone
What representation does

We're building the introductions a K-beauty creator couldn't reach independently โ€” Japanese beauty houses and global relaunches that justify the management partnership many times over.

Brand introductions
๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต
Better terms, not just deals
What representation does

Representation is about the terms as much as the deal: stronger rates, fairer usage rights, and shorter exclusivity windows than a creator would typically negotiate solo.

ๅฟœๅ‹ŸWho we take on

We keep our
managed roster small
on purpose.

Every managed creator gets a dedicated talent manager. We don't scale that with numbers โ€” we scale it with quality. We're keeping our founding managed roster to fewer than 200 creators globally.
