Services

We design and deliver regional revitalization and experience projects end to end — from research and strategy through creative production, on-site execution, and long-term operations.

Four Areas of Work

We work across a broad range of fields, tailoring our approach to each challenge and partnering closely with our clients from strategy through execution.

Placemaking & Public–Private Partnerships

We design community platforms and public spaces in partnership with local governments, including Setagaya City (Tokyo) and Yokosuka City (Kanagawa). Our work spans Park-PFI and designated-manager schemes, park and waterfront programming, and the operating bodies that keep a place alive after opening.

Regional Branding for Food, Tourism & Primary Industries

We build brands and engaged communities for regions, producers, and the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors — from positioning and naming through product development, packaging, sales channels, and the storytelling that carries them.

Experience & Community Design

We create events and experiences that bring residents, businesses, and visitors together. This includes concept design, programming, casting, workshop facilitation, and running the day itself with our own team on site.

Digital Transformation (DX)

We support regional businesses end to end, from crowdfunding and web development to ongoing marketing, CRM design, and the analytics needed to keep improving after launch.

How We Work

Most of our engagements move through the following phases. We are equally comfortable joining at the strategy stage or stepping in to run an initiative someone else has planned.

Research & DiscoveryWe start with the place and the people — interviews with residents and stakeholders, market and competitor research, and a clear read of the assets that are already there but overlooked.
Strategy & ConceptWe define who the project is for, what change it should produce, and how success will be measured — then translate that into a concept the whole team can work from.
Design & ProductionBranding, creative direction, web and video production, product and space design. We combine in-house work with partner companies, scaling the team to the size of the project.
ExecutionWe run events and experiences on the ground, handling operations, casting, staffing, safety, and coordination with public bodies and local businesses.
Operations & GrowthMany of our projects are ongoing platforms rather than one-off events. We stay on to operate them, grow the community, and report on results.

Who We Work With

We work with local governments and public institutions, private companies, and regional operators such as producers, cooperatives, and commerce associations. Public-sector work is a core part of our practice: we already respond to public proposals (RFPs) and negotiated contracts from municipalities, and we are experienced in the reporting and coordination those engagements require.

Engagement Models

Project length: We take on everything from short-term engagements to mid- and long-term programmes that run over multiple years.
Contract types: We can accommodate a range of contract structures, including outsourced project contracts, retainer and advisory arrangements, and deliverable-based agreements.
Small or one-off requests: Smaller scopes and single-session consultations are welcome — please get in touch and we will discuss what makes sense.
Execution or operations only: If the strategy is already set and you need a partner to design the experience or run the operation, that is something we are happy to discuss.
Team composition: We build each team from a mix of in-house staff and partner companies, matched to the scale and specialism the project needs.
First consultation: The initial consultation is free. The time required to prepare an estimate depends on the scale of the project.

What We Don’t Do

We do not take on sales outsourcing or other agency-style outsourcing work where the request is simply to act on another company’s behalf. Our work is planning, designing, and operating projects as a partner.
