under the LINE Biz Partner Program
~The most LINE certification badges in Japan and the 6th time to earn the highest rank~

Tokyo, May 22, 2023 -- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the highest-grade Premier Technology Partner 2023 in the communications category under the LINE Biz Partner Program, which certifies partner companies that develop and sell various corporate services offered by LINE Corporation. Certification badges are awarded to Technology Partners who have fulfilled certain criteria. DAC has four certification badges as a company and five certification badges as a group, the highest for any one company or group in Japan.

■LINE Biz Partner Program
The LINE Biz Partner Program* certifies and honors advertising agencies and service developers in the Sales Partner and Technology Partner categories with the aim to actively promote sales and the addition/enhancement of functions of LINE’s corporate services.

*Certification is conducted in two categories: Sales Partner (Sales Partner, Local Sales Partner, LINE Mini App Sales Partner) and Technology Partner.
*The Planning Partner category, which recognized companies that plan and manage ad products and API-related services for individual and corporate LINE Official Accounts, was abolished this term.


■Technology Partner
The Technology Partner certification that DAC received recognizes partners that provide companies technical support to implement ad products and API-related services related to individual and corporate LINE Official Accounts, LINE Ads programmatic ads, LINE de Oubo in-store sales promotion solution and LINE Mini App platform for companies to provide their own services on LINE.

Partners are certified based on their ability to share upon request specifications of tools that work with LINE, their skills and resources to respond to changes in LINE specifications and their ability to maintain required technical specifications. Exceptional partners are awarded and certified as Premier or Advanced. In addition, partners who achieve a certain level of performance are also awarded various certification badges.

Ever since LINE introduced ad services in 2012, DAC has worked with advertising agencies to develop solutions that utilize LINE. When LINE began offering LINE Business Connect in 2014, DAC became a certified company under the Business Connect Partner Program and began promoting one-to-one communication between users and companies that utilize LINE with DialogOne®(*1), which it developed and provides. In addition, under the certified badge program, DAC has been awarded four certification badges as a company and five certification badges as a group, the highest number for any one company or group(*2). In recognition of these achievements, DAC was certified Premier Technology Partner 2023 in the communications category.

DAC will continue to work in close partnership with LINE to provide various solutions that support client company marketing activities.
