Empowering creative professionals and recruiters to communicate more actively, using creativity to change society and make the world a better place during challenging times
SKYDEA, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hitomi Abiko) is expanding its "Creative Tokyo" service, which supports networking and job acquisition for creative professionals during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This evolution allows creative workers to take more initiative in their professional activities, even in these challenging times.
About Creative Tokyo
"Creative Tokyo" is a communication service primarily aimed at supporting networking and job acquisition for those working in or aspiring to work in creative fields such as digital design (UI/UX). The project is currently supported by ImpacTech Japan and The Nippon Foundation.
Website: https://creativetokyo.com/
Services offered to date include:
Regular networking meetup events
Job posting and searching functionality
Mentorship opportunities
In response to the current global situation, Creative Tokyo is adapting its services to meet the needs of creative professionals navigating the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our digital platform aims to bridge the gap created by social distancing measures, providing vital connections and opportunities in the creative industry.
New Service Expansions
In addition to existing services, we're introducing:
An account-based networking and job acquisition platform
User-created circles, groups, and project management tools
The Value of the New Creative Tokyo Creative Tokyo began as a grassroots meetup event for designers, organized by SKYDEA, Inc., a company that values community building. It has since evolved to include a website, information sharing, and mentorship programs, culminating in this transition to an account-based service.
This service expansion primarily aims to energize community building while facilitating smoother job acquisition processes. We remain committed to our vision of using creativity to change society and make the world a better place.
As we're using an agile development approach, features will be released gradually without a specific launch date.
While "Tokyo" is in the name due to our location, we intend to expand our services worldwide. The website is currently available in English, with plans to add Japanese in the future.
We also plan to offer various benefits to social impact projects, SDGs initiatives, and NPOs.
