ADK Holdings Inc. (d/b/a ADK), formerly known as Asatsu-DK, is a Japanese holding company with ventures in advertising and IP rights. Asatsu-DK was formed in 1999, when Asatsu merged with Dai-Ichi Kikaku. Headquartered in the Toranomon Hills building complex in Minato, Tokyo since June 2014 (previously in Tsukiji, Chūō, Tokyo), the firm is Japan's third largest advertising agency after Dentsu and Hakuhodo. The agency has 80 offices in over 20 countries. In 2018, ADK was bought out by US capital firm Bain Capital and transitioned into a holding company a year later, with the original Asatsu-DK becoming ADK Marketing Solutions.
