did you know Hitachi, the magic want company, have a vtuber?

I actually like it's design and style because it stands out compared to most vtubers designs

Are their any other corporations that have vtuber avatars?
I'm sure that it'll catch on in the future as companies latch on to the increasing popularity of vtubers

for what reason?

I saw an article about it here
http://www.hitachi.com/rev/archive/2020/r2020_01/topics/index.html
> in recent years, the places where customers, mainly young people, view ads has shifted rapidly from conventional media to digital fields such as personal computers and smartphones. For this reason, it was necessary to review its advertising methods and places where they come in contact with customers. So, Hitachi Global Life Solutions, Inc. developed an original virtual character (virtual YouTuber: VTuber) that uses YouTube, which has the largest number of viewers and social impact in the digital field. The company plans to disseminate information through this new form of communication centering on younger people. Through this initiative, the character “Shirokaden Hakushaku” was born.

I mean I'm pretty sure they pimped KizunaAI to some TV panel shows, random tech company presentational videos and even some official local government ad campaign, vtubers are pretty much corporate by design.

Designing their vtuber to be the most stereotypical anime frenchman ever? What did they mean by this?

>> No.859977

>>859908
I know "regular" vtubers usually have a corporation behind them and advertise all kinds of products
But I was thinking more of a company selling a product such as a rice cooker or vacuum cleaner and creating a vtuber to advertise it
as is the case in the vtuber

I mean I can definitely see the gap moe appeal of something like a Bounty Paper Towels® vtuber, but from a serious marketing and financial perspective I think hiring one of the already existing popular vtubers for an ad campaign makes a lot more sense.

It's not a vtuber though, it's a vn. If any fastfood company is going to make a vtuber it's Wendy. They're already halfway there anyway.

She used to promote stuff, until they determined that even official voice actresses may not necessarily be the best at promoting their products.

Suntory is one of my favorite vtubers. Her 3D collab with siro, akiroze, fubuki and kagura suzu is worth watching
