Kaneka is the world's only manufacturer of Kaneka Ubiquinol™ — the active, bioavailable form of Coenzyme Q10, central to cellular energy production and antioxidant protection. The science is solid. The challenge is a classic B2B ingredient problem: how do you make an invisible micronutrient matter to the people who actually benefit from it? That's where we come in.
“I value working with akp Communications. They ask the right questions, give straight answers, and set realistic plans that actually ship. Across PR, social media, partnerships, and events, they turn complex science into clear, native messaging that resonates. The result: stronger visibility and a clearer position for Kaneka Ubiquinol.”

What We Do Together

Kaneka doesn't sell to consumers — it supplies the manufacturers who do. Our job is to bridge that gap: building awareness and credibility for Ubiquinol as an ingredient brand, so that end users seek it out and B2B customers see the value of carrying it.

That means working across multiple levels at once. We manage trade PR for B2B and B2M audiences, run consumer-facing content and social media, activate influencer partnerships, and support events and sponsorships — all within a coherent strategy. The work spans DACH, Turkey and beyond, with messaging tailored to each market and channel.

What holds it together: a clear, consistent story about why Ubiquinol is the superior form of CoQ10, told differently depending on whether the audience is a supplement manufacturer, a health practitioner, or a consumer scrolling Instagram.
