Brand positioning

Good branding isn't about making things louder. It's about making them clearer. We've helped clients across Japan, APAC, the US, and Europe work out what they stand for and how to say it. Sometimes that means a complete overhaul. Sometimes it means changing one thing.

Graphic design

Logos, typography, campaign graphics, and event spaces you experience. A poster has to catch someone's attention and keep it. A logo has to work at thumbnail size on a webpage and hoisted atop a flagship store. We design all of it to be effortlessly timeless for the world of today.

Film & video

Every film we make starts with a question: what does this story actually need to do? We work with you from that first conversation through to the final cut, handling storyboarding, filming, editing, sound, and color in-house. We keep coming back to that question until the film answers it.

Animation & motion

Animation can say things live action can't, and the trick is choosing how. Reality stops being a constraint, which is the point and most of the fun. We bring traditional craft and new technology together, adding tools as they earn their place. Every story gets its own approach.

Presentations & reports

Most annual reports get filed away. The ones we make don't. A deck and a report share a problem: a lot to say, and a fixed order to say it in. Clear structure, visuals that carry the argument, and writing that respects the reader's time.

Commercial photography

Our photographers are award-winning and, just as importantly, easy to work with. Portraits and product work, in the studio or on location. They're good at putting people at ease, which is why the portraits look natural rather than posed. Great photography starts before the camera comes out.

Cultural localization

What works in English doesn't automatically work in Japanese, and the gap isn't just grammatical. Localization goes beyond translation. We combine cultural insight with creative craft to make sure what you're saying lands properly, wherever you're saying it.

Copywriting

Press releases, taglines, social posts, and scripts. If it involves words, we write them. Japanese and English, each written by a native speaker. We're used to tight deadlines and allergic to jargon.

Social media

Social media done well is harder than it looks. We work with you on what to say, and then say it consistently across the channels that matter. Sometimes that's a single campaign. Sometimes it's being there every week. Both come with reporting that gives you a real picture of what's working.
