SIJIHIVE. Inc

"SIJIHIVE is a translation and localization company based in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Founded in February 2018, we have about 17 people on the team, including outsourced staff. Roughly 80 percent of our clients are companies based outside Japan.

Our main work is marketing translation. This differs from standard document translation: the goal is not a literal rendering of the source text but copy that reads naturally to the target audience and does its job as marketing. We provide copywriting and translation for websites, ads, press releases, video scripts, presentations, sales materials, software UI text, and whitepapers.

We also offer market entry support for companies operating in Japan, including bilingual business operations, interpreter arrangement, and event support, plus SEO content (blog articles, meta descriptions, keyword research) and content creation such as social media management, interview articles, and web design and development.

Some examples of past work:

- Japanese and Chinese product taglines for a global skincare brand, used across China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong
- Japanese taglines for a global sportswear brand's product launches
- Copywriting and design for a Middle East airline's social media channels aimed at Japanese travelers
- Email marketing copywriting and design for a French cosmetics brand's Japanese online store
- Website planning, design, and copywriting for a design hotel in Kyushu, a Hong Kong insurance marketing company, and a Japan/India risk consulting firm
- Social media management for a Hong Kong crypto exchange and a Japan-based blockchain game's Southeast Asian community

Our team includes native and bilingual writers and editors working in Japanese, English, and Chinese, most with experience living or working abroad. We have worked with clients in Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Middle East, the US, France, and the UK."
