Initial, specializing in social media marketing, will absorb Starbank's celebrity and influencer services and Influencer Bank's micro-influencer platform. The merger aims to streamline Vector's marketing operations and enhance efficiency.
The merger will not involve any share allotments or monetary exchanges. Initial will retain its address in Tokyo with a share capital of 10 million yen. Vector will maintain 100% ownership.
