GRAND is an office building media platform primarily featured in elevators and elevator halls of office buildings, reaching over 3.1 million business professionals monthly across 1,700 buildings.

Erina Iwata Appointed MC! Launching New Content Experience 'Elevator Pitch' GRAND is launching a new content experience called 'Elevator Pitch.' 'Elevator Pitch' is a business term that originally refers to a brief presentation designed to convey key points within the short duration of an elevator ride. True to its name, GRAND will deliver sophisticated information in '15 seconds in an elevator.' Our goal is to convey the subtle appeal of products and the warmth that cannot be conveyed through text alone, even in a short period. To provide such a content experience, Erina Iwata has been appointed as MC. With her solid experience as a former Nippon TV announcer and her engaging personality, we believe she is the ideal choice to create content that resonates with business professionals during their brief moments of respite, leading to her appointment as MC. Ms. Iwata will appear as MC in various content broadcast in office buildings by GRAND, including 'Elevator Pitch.' We will also begin offering tie-up packages utilizing this content experience.
