>>36935375that's not all they do.
as someone living outside of japan, maybe you feel like Hololive is just a group of internet streamers playing video games on youtube.
but here in japan, i've been seeing more and more of their brand presence in my everyday life.
hololive goods as part of collabs with konbini chains, promo material that appear on billboards, posters, books, magazines, events at shops and restaurants, that card game thing, the list goes on.
all of these irl businesses need a lot of people to handle.
whitecollar salarymen to write business plans, get in touch with business contacts from other companies, going over to various other companies' offices in japan with business proposals, trying to close deals.
they need people to handle logistics and keep up with manufacturing contacts.
all those designs they use in promo materials and goods? even more contact points with various artists they need to wrangle in person or over the internet.
with more business being done, they need more people to handle the money, accounting, pencil pushers, bean counters, and even the more serious legal stuff, audits and some such.
as the number of people in the company grows, they start needing more people to take care of the people.
generalists that take care of various mundane stuff. copy documents, send emails, prepare tea, tidy up the meeting room for business visitors, order food and catering for any company events, keep contacts with the talent managers on the vtuber side, stock up the fridge with pekora's favorite juice, sending circulars to the devteam so they don't do weird stuff whenever the talents show up for whatever, the list goes on.
