Leading with Culture

Our clients expect us to understand and thrive in both Japanese and American business culture, and we do. We are constantly striving to become more culturally literate, as well as more knowledgeable.

Boston Marketing Partners began as a vehicle to support our partnership agreement with Surkus, an emerging hyper-targeted marketing company expanding into the Boston area in 2018. BMP has grown to become the professional consulting arm for Eric Hyett and Spencer Thurlow. We share a 6-year history of working together on a variety of projects, from event management and "enrichment travel" workshops, to financial due diligence and market-entry strategies. Apart from business, Eric & Spencer are most well known for co-translating "Sonic Peace," the award-winning first book of poetry by contemporary Japanese female poet Kiriu Minashita.
