ABOUT MEDIA DO

Message From the CEO

To deliver more content for more people
The MEDIA DO Group has continued to grow with our mainstay “eBook Distribution Business,” which has the largest market share in Japan for distributing written works on the Internet. With the mission of “unleashing a virtuous cycle of literary creation” in which written works widely distributed under fair conditions, and that the profits from these works are appropriately returned to their creators, we have been consistently committed to distribution of various content to date, aiming to contribute to the development of Japanese culture and the enrichment society through our business. We will never waver in our determination to contribute to the publishing and content industry for a long time to come, with this philosophy in mind.

In recent years, while the eBook market, which has grown significantly due to the special demand associated with people staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, has entered a period of maturity, eBooks have widely penetrated people's lives and have become more familiar to us. In this environment, expectations for us as the industry infrastructure provider have increased even further.

By properly understanding these expectations and changing needs of our clients, we aim to continue to provide services that contribute to further reduction of distribution energy use. To achieve this, it is essential to continue to thoroughly improve and examine the allocation of management resources, as well as to ensure the growth of each employee. We revamped our human resource system this fiscal year to secure growth opportunities for our employees and increase what they can contribute.

Our corporate creed is “Growth and Potential.” This is based on the idea that growth of “our people” is at the core of the Group's value creation, and that good relationships based on mutual trust and respect for the potential of others will lead to individual growth. We believe that in any era, we can further expand the value of our contribution to the entire industry through the continued growth of our core “people.” We will continue to build a strong and sustainable organization and keep taking on new challenges to deliver more content for more people.

Corporate Philosophy

MEDIA DO bases its business on the concept of digital distribution of written works in order to fulfill its mission of unleashing a virtuous cycle of literary creation and achieve its vision of “More Content for More People!”. To achieve this, we need to fully capitalize on the growth and potential of our people. These efforts must be supported by the foundation formed from the business infrastructure, expertise, experience, and corporate culture we have cultivated thus far. Acting in accordance with this basic policy, we will seek to create environments that allow all employees to achieve independence and demonstrate their growth and potential as they take the initiative in tackling new challenges.

Corporate Logo

Design

The vertical lines in MEDIA DO's corporate logo represent each of our employees as they exercise independence in how they think, create, and act. The orange line in the middle is meant to represent the viewer. The lines stretching upward on either side symbolize our employees, as they take our corporate philosophy to heart and grow together with the viewer while being supported by those around them. People live while supporting one another. This is the reason why it is so important for us to treasure our relationships and communication with others and our colleagues, who work together with us. The growth achieved by the independent viewer and the employees that support them will unlock limitless potential. This is the meaning encapsulated in the design of MEDIA DO's corporate logo.

Corporate Colors

It is said that all life originates from the ocean, which would make the ocean the source of all knowledge. The ocean is not only our point of origin, it is also the venue through which diverse goods and ideas are transported by ships with wind in their sails. The sky, meanwhile, envelops the entire world. The sun provides us with warmth to nurture things and ideas. Our corporate colors are navy blue, sky blue, and orange. Navy blue symbolizes the ocean and sky blue portrays the sky while orange represents the curiosity of people—the sun that fosters knowledge.
