Founded in May 2010 by Ian Chun and Collin Wong, Matcha Latte Media is a strategic marketing and media creation consulting company based in Honolulu and Tokyo, and specializes in providing services for small and mid-sized companies seeking to expand in the Japanese and North American markets.

What we do

Technology, particularly recent advances in information technology, has made the world a much smaller place in the last decade. Today, the tools to launch and expand to markets half a world away are readily available to even small businesses. Seeking out businesses with inspiring, game-changing, and/or culturally important/influential products, services and ideas, Matcha Latte Media provides the strategic, culturally-informed advice necessary to help these businesses succeed.

Specifically, we incubate and accelerate businesses engaged in culturally influential ideas, products, and services by providing advice on and implementation of media-based marketing and branding strategies including e-commerce, social media marketing, and other web-based marketing strategies.

What is “matcha latte”?

Matcha latte, or green tea latte, is a hugely popular latte drink in Japan created from the combination of matcha, a highly refined Japanese powdered green tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony, and a drink ubiquitous in contemporary Western society — the latte.

Taking this concept of cross-cultural exchange and interaction, we believe that the introduction and combination of ideas from different cultures and societies can help make the world a better, more interesting place to live.
