SMS Consulting
JapanLocal market knowledge and consulting to introduce character-led AI experiences in Japan.
For agencies, studios and commercial partners
Your client.
Our character-building expertise.
Bring Brandbots to your clients without building an AI platform. You bring the relationship and creative direction. We bring the specialist team behind the experience.
More life in the work you already do.
A brand identity can become a helpful guide. A campaign character can answer back. An existing mascot can take on a useful role across the customer journey.
Start with a Notso-designed character, your own concept, or a character the client already owns. We review, model, rig and animate the approved direction, then connect knowledge, conversation and the right channels.
Three ways to work together.
Make the introduction
Refer a qualified opportunity. Notso leads scoping, proposals and delivery, while keeping you connected.
Own the relationship
Lead the client and commercial relationship as a reseller. We support your pitch and supply the platform and delivery team.
Lead the creative work
Own strategy, design or experience direction. We turn the agreed idea into a working Brandbot product.
Fees, margins, branding, IP, territories and support responsibilities are agreed per partnership. There is no assumed percentage or exclusivity.
Clear roles. Shared ambition.
You bring the context.
Client relationships, qualified opportunities, audience insight, brand knowledge and the creative leadership you want to own.
We make it work.
Demo and proposal support, 3D production, animation, knowledge and behaviour design, integrations, testing, deployment and technical support.
Together, we keep it useful.
Agree approvals and support before launch. Review conversations, improve the experience and introduce new journeys or character-led content as the opportunity grows.
From a first brief to a working Brandbot.
Shape the opportunity
Define the audience, useful role and commercial route. Agree creative ownership, scope and approvals.
Make and connect
Build the character and expression library. Connect approved knowledge, define boundaries and design the journey.
Test, launch, grow
Review privately before integration. Agree support, then use real questions to improve and extend the experience.
Good company to build with.
Our partners bring creative expertise, local understanding and relationships that make the work stronger.

Local knowledge.
A shared platform.
For Japan and other markets, local partners shape language, tone, etiquette, humour and cultural references. Notso supplies the interaction engine and technical implementation.
Localisation is more than translation. It is making the character feel at home.
A few practical questions.
Do we need an AI or technical team?
No. Bring your relationship, strategy or creative expertise. Notso supplies the specialist 3D, AI and deployment capability.
Who designs the Brandbot?
Your team, ours, or both. We can also review and adapt a client-owned character for interactive use.
Can the offer be white-labelled?
White-label elements, branding and how Notso appears in the client relationship are agreed case by case.
Who supports the client after launch?
We agree first-line support, technical support, client communication and account ownership before work begins.
How do the commercial terms work?
The opportunity and each party’s responsibilities shape referral fees or reseller margins. Let’s discuss the project rather than assume a fixed model.
Have a client who could use a little character?
Let’s work out what we could make together.
