With a mission to "Create the lifestyle you love," GO RIDE is a digital creative agency committed to delivering exceptional results for our clients.
Our team of marketers, designers, creators, and engineers operates across Japan and LA.
Our Values
We actively promote diversity and inclusivity in our organization. We recruit and embrace individuals from various backgrounds, regardless of race, nationality, gender, or age. By incorporating diversity into our workforce and accepting different work styles, we aim to create new value and enhance our organizational performance.
Our Credo
The name "GO RIDE" embodies the spirit of venturing into the unknown. Our journey began with a solo surf trip around the world—sleeping in cars and airports—and eventually launched from a small desk at home.
GO RIDE channels this spirit of challenge through technology, aiming to break free from limits and create a better lifestyle. We aim to make every working moment count.
Life is short, Let’s GO RIDE!
Our Mission
We work side by side with our clients. Rather than offering temporary fixes, we aim to solve challenges with a mid to long-term perspective, striving to become a long-term partner in their success.
We’ve had the privilege of working with numerous high-quality products and services that tell compelling stories and inspire fans across borders, both in Japan and overseas.
Supporting clients with such potential is what drives us. It’s both our passion and our mission.
Company
We are a team of professionals who value freedom and high productivity
as well as openness and mutual respect.
Toyo Hirashima
Founder
After working for an IT venture company and a foreign software company, he went on a 13-month surf trip around the world, after which he founded GO RIDE in June 2015.
