Ckd Creative Studio
We are a creative studio that designs brands.
We always aim to achieve our clients' objectives.
What we can do
Ckd Creative Studio handles everything from brand strategy to the creation that connects that strategy to expression. Based on the brand strategy, we design the content that makes up the brand, including logos (CI), graphic tools, websites, e-commerce sites, videos, and in-store signs and billboards. During production, we select creative members such as photographers, stylists, editors, and writers depending on the project, and are involved in everything from photography to design. By being involved in this comprehensive process, we establish the brand and ensure that a consistent brand image is conveyed to customers no matter where they access the site, thereby achieving branding.

Our Process
Request
Consultation/Request
Please feel free to contact us using the inquiry form. When doing so, please provide a rough outline (request details, delivery date, etc.). If you are considering branding, creative direction, art direction, or a request for a new store or brand, consulting us at the early stages of the project will allow us to grasp the overall picture, select proposals and creative members that are suited to your strategy, and deliver high quality. Of course, we also accept requests for stand-alone graphic design, web design, etc., so please feel free to contact us.
Interview
Meeting/Hearing
After you contact us, we will schedule a meeting to discuss the details. It's okay if your image is vague or abstract at the time of the meeting. We will carefully listen to your needs and help you materialize your vague vision of the future and bring to light any issues that may be lurking beneath the surface. Our clients have told us that after our meetings, their minds have become clearer and they can see the direction they want to go, so please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with us.
*If the meeting location is far away, transportation costs may be incurred.
Estimate
Quote
We will carefully examine the details based on the interview and provide you with a quote. We will carefully explain any technical details, so please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Once you have approved the quote, a contract will be signed and an order will be placed. As for payment, the initial payment must be made within one week of placing the order, and work will begin once it has been confirmed. (This may vary depending on the project.)
*The initial fee will vary depending on the scale of the project, but as a guideline we would appreciate it if you could assume it to be 50% of the total price including tax.
Solutions
Suggestion
We will make proposals based on strategies to achieve the client's objectives. In some cases, we may conduct further in-depth interviews before making a proposal.

Creative/Delivery
Once we have decided on the content of your proposal, we will begin the creative process. Our progress manager will act as your liaison, handling the exchange and confirmation of materials from production to delivery, and striving to ensure a smooth process. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have during the production period.
*The remaining balance is to be paid within one week of delivery. (This may vary depending on the project.)
*The progress and content may differ from the above depending on the project.
*The progress and content may differ depending on the project.
progress management
Ckd Creative Studio also undertakes work involving just progress management. Our track record includes editing for photo shoots for overseas magazines, acting as a liaison between photographers, scheduling and arranging shoots, and casting foreign models for image shoots. Please feel free to contact us.
Website Design
At Ckd Creative Syudio, we undertake the creation of websites such as brand sites and corporate sites. Unlike the past when entertainment was a priority, in recent years usability has become a priority. Unlike promotional sites for movies and the like, official brand and company websites do not require such sophisticated systems. We believe that what is important is to convey the brand's worldview, history, and information, and for corporate sites, to show the company's stance, strengths, and corporate information.
That's why Ckd was an early adopter of web development services. Unlike WordPress, which involves coding from scratch using a programming language, this involves customizing a pre-programmed system. By using a web development service, we are able to reduce programming costs compared to creating websites using WordPress, and create official websites that express the identity of a brand or company with a high level of design. Another advantage is that they are multi-device (optimized for smartphones) and are easy to modify and update after publication.
Naturally, there are also disadvantages, such as the need to pay a fee for using the web development service and the fact that specifications are limited to the scope of what the web development service can do. However, there are currently many web development services available, and we propose services that meet the client's needs from among them.
Following Up
After-sales support
At Ckd Creative Studio, after delivery and completion, we partner with our clients to provide ongoing creative direction, shaping the brand and supervising the visual aspects (VI). Brands need to mature with a long-term perspective, evolving with the times. In today's fast-paced society, where values change dramatically, we share our vision with our clients and design brands that adapt to the times.
E-commerce website design
An online shop cannot be run by simply creating an e-commerce website. Before launch, you need to "set up the system" and "establish operations," and after launch, you need to "review operations" and "plan sales promotions."
At Ckd Creative Studio, we not only create e-commerce websites, but also provide support for these operational aspects. There are many things to consider when running an online shop, such as what products to sell, how many types there are, whether shipping will be by region or weight, how to accept payment, which payment processors to use, and how to handle operations from purchase to shipping. Clients often have no idea what to do next or what everything involves. At Ckd, we will proceed step by step, addressing any concerns or questions our clients may have.
Furthermore, once an online store is launched, it is inevitable that operations will need to be reviewed as difficulties arise when actually operating the store. Just as brick-and-mortar stores launch products in line with demand and change displays according to the season, online stores also need to launch planned content and change their homepages in line with the seasons and demand. CKD offers service plans for online stores after they are launched, and provides ongoing operations and support.
