Eikaiwa Sites is more than just a branch of Ad Ronin—it’s the result of a journey that began with a simple idea. Back in 2014, Steven Clancy and Kevin Fabris launched the Easy ESL Games YouTube channel to share fun, engaging educational content with the world.
This experience laid the groundwork for what would become Ad Ronin, a digital marketing company in Canada that has brought in over $100m in revenue for their clients. Eikaiwa Sites is our latest evolution.
We’re here to help Eikaiwa schools across Japan break through the digital noise and connect with students in a way that’s authentic, powerful, and unique.
Our journey began with "Easy ESL Games" on YouTube, creating fun and educational content for kids. We released two popular children's song albums and organically garnered over 6 million views.
In the same year, Steve opened "Little Sheep English" Eikaiwa in his house in Kobe, Japan. The school has since relocated to nearby Akashi having outgrown the space.
Recognizing the transferable skills developed through our creative projects, we transitioned to "Ad Ronin," a digital marketing agency based in Canada, serving North American clients. Starting with video ads, we quickly learned the importance of a holistic approach, expanding our services to include website design, landing pages, and social media management.
As our expertise and reputation grew, so did our team. Today, we consistently produce dozens of video ads and new websites each month. Our dedication has translated into over 50 successful websites built, exceeding $5 million in client ad spend that's generated a remarkable $75 million+ in return.
Recognizing the need for improved digital presence among Eikaiwas, we embarked on a Japan branch in 2023. Through rigorous beta testing, we've honed our understanding of Japanese marketing language and best practices, combining them with our established Western expertise to deliver exceptional results.
With a background in education and digital content, Steven co-founded Eikaiwa Sites and uses his expertise to guide our strategic planning. He ensures our services align perfectly with your Eikaiwa's goals and aspirations.
