TABI LABO is a rapidly expanding Japanese media startup that launched on February 22, 2014, covering news, movements and trends that inspire us. We’re a digital agency and multi-channel media company serving the emerging generation of users, creating experiences that include web media, SNS, VR, live events and TV broadcasting.

Our vision is to mold the future of media and advertising. While consumption of media has shifted more and more to smartphones, business models of media companies have been slow to adapt to the digital shift. As a result, advertising content tend to hard sell at the expense of user experience. We go beyond the traditional advertising space, providing full-service solutions with in-house creative, production, sales and management teams. By delivering quality content and advertising that isn’t confined to convention, we’re establishing a new media business model.

We work out of a three-story house in Daikanyama, Shibuya and come from all walks of life--from hippie writers to Youtubers to musicians. The work environment is uniquely casual with no dress code, and members take turns creating lunch for others during the week. Not bound to titles or positions, we're organizationally flat, and freely exchange ideas to meet our goals. Now at over 60 strong, we aspire to grow to 100, 500, 1000... with our plans to expand to Asia and abroad, there's no sign of slowing down.
