We are a Search team of 29 SEA specialists and 13 SEO specialists. We celebrate successes together but also share our challenges. We value transparency, being yourself, helping each other, and above all, we are a committed team that has each other's best interests at heart.


At dentsu, we believe that diversity stimulates innovation. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background, gender, or field of study, and that mindset is reflected in how we work together every day.


Teambuilding and sociability are very important to us. We like to end the week with music on our rooftop terrace, spend two days a year volunteering as a team, organize various activities, and participate in sports events such as the Adfocup and the Dam‑to‑Dam run.
