Tokyo studio

Tokyo’s landscape is changing, as the city becomes increasingly international. Shibuya, home to our Tokyo studio, a neighbourhood at the centre of it all, is known for its creativity. The team draws inspiration from their surroundings by learning from the many subcultures to create meaningful work.

Our vibrant, diverse and energetic team resembles the city where the studio is located. The cross-disciplinary background reflects itself in the work that pushes the boundaries of creativity for clients, including YouTube, Nike and Lion.

The different cultures represented in the studio put the team in a unique position, enabling it to provide clients with the tools they need to develop localised creative strategies while remaining true to who they are on a global level.
