Taki Corporation's new production company "COBO

■Background and concept behind the establishment of "COBO

For over 65 years, Taki Corporation has been engaged in planning and production of all kinds of communication with design as the mainstay, including branding, CI/VI, application development, UI/UX development, package design, promotion, graphics, website, video/video, and interactive content development. We have been engaged in the planning and production of all kinds of communication with a focus on design.

In the midst of an increasingly diversified design field, we have now launched a new production company, COBO, in order to "deeply reconsider graphics as the center of production".

In this age of accelerated efficiency with the introduction of generative AI, we dare to renew the image of the old "studio. The "C" in our name represents our determination to update the three elements of Creative (creativity), Culture (culture), and Craft (technology). By using the "blank space" created by technology for contemplation and crafting to enhance the strength of creativity, we will pursue highly pure expression with consistent responsibility from transmission to output, while maintaining the basic premise of high quality.

■Achievements extending to international projects

Our members have handled many large-scale projects based on mass advertising.

In recent years, we have expanded the scope of our work to include international projects.
