The Value We Provide

01

No need to start from scratch

As part of the University of Tokyo ourselves, we work from the context you are in, in a way that stays true to the University's brand.

02

In the hands of professionals

In-house photographers, videographers, writers and translators, plus a network of creators outside the University. We assemble the right team for each project.

03

Recognisably UTokyo, at a glance

That doesn't mean every department uses the same designer. We look for a form that keeps each department's character while adding to a shared sense of the University.

04

Within the budget you have

Every project has different resources. Even with a limited budget, we'll think through what's possible together and propose a way forward.
