AnyMind Group Opens US Operations In Los Angeles

AnyMind Group has launched operations in the United States, working out of Los Angeles, California.

  • Company: AnyMind Group, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market
  • Base: Los Angeles, California
  • First to roll out: AnyLive, plus a data and AI utilisation suite
  • Track record cited: 15 Asian brands supported into the US over seven months

What AnyMind Group Is Setting Up, And Why Now

A local presence behind work it is already doing. The company says it has spent the past seven months supporting 15 Asian brands with expansion and growth in the United States, which makes this an entry built on existing demand rather than on a forecast.

The stated design is bilateral. The US operation is meant to give Asia-Pacific businesses in-market support and integrations when they enter the United States, and to give US companies access to the same proprietary technology for domestic growth and for expansion across Asia-Pacific through the company's existing solutions in marketing, commerce, logistics and distribution.

What Goes In First

Two things, and neither is advertising. The first is AnyLive, the company's live commerce platform. The second is a data and AI utilisation suite covering enterprise-grade agentic AI, the unification of online and offline retail data, AI-generated content, and brand and consumer analytics.

That ordering says something about where the company expects to be useful. Live commerce is far more developed across parts of Asia than in the United States, so leading with it is a bet that the format travels rather than that the market is already waiting for it.

The Model Behind It

The company describes itself as a business-process-as-a-service operation, which it defines as a layer on top of both software-as-a-service and business process outsourcing: proprietary software plus in-market operations teams, so clients get the tooling and the people running it in the same engagement.

Its capabilities span influencer marketing and digital advertising, live and social commerce, e-commerce management, customer engagement, logistics, offline distribution, and data and AI. Alongside the enterprise work it also helps publishers and creators monetise audiences through advertising, platform partnerships and commerce.

Scale And Priorities

Founded in Singapore in April 2016, the company built a presence in 15 markets across Southeast Asia, East Asia, India and the Middle East before this entry, moved its headquarters to Tokyo in 2019, and went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in 2023. It reports more than 2,300 staff across 24 offices. As of June 2026 it served over 1,500 enterprises for marketing, more than 230 for e-commerce, over 1,600 publishers and more than 1,100 creators.

Kosuke Sogo, chief executive, set a deliberately short-term priority: "Our immediate priority is to respond to the client demand we are already seeing and turn that demand into tangible results." Building a local team and partner network, Sogo said, would help the company understand the market and connect what it learns there with its existing Asia-Pacific infrastructure, so businesses can grow in both directions.
