In implementing them, we can use our network of specialists in all relevant disciplines to achieve the best results for our clients.

Human-Centric Branding.

In October 1895, Hironao Seki founded Japan’s first advertising agency: Hakuhodo. The name is inspired by the Japanese character that means “giving back to society”. That is why our philosophy is focusing on the whole human being, not just the consumer. We call it “Sei-katsu-sha”, which literally means: The person living life to the full.

This philosophy gives us a better understanding how to trigger emotions and encourage thinking. Enabling your brand to understand people’s wishes, meet them on eye-level and speak their language. And ultimately, to become an indispensable part of their lives.
