Frontier Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masahiro Takahashi, hereinafter "Our Company"), which operates the business matching service "Ready Crew (レディクル)", is pleased to announce that it will hold a joint webinar with Goodpatch Inc. (hereinafter "Goodpatch") titled "Asking the Pros! How to Choose a "Web Production/Renewal" Company ~What are the conditions for a partner that maximizes "brand value" and "sales"?~" on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.

Background of the Seminar

Websites and digital products are no longer just a company's "face"; they are the "experience (UX)" that connects with users and a powerful weapon for enhancing brand value and growing business.

However, many companies face challenges such as "strategies and concepts are excellent but not reflected in the actual product" or "the appearance is beautiful but did not lead to results." If selection is biased towards superficial output or "price" and "name recognition," it can lead to a "hollow brand" and the risk of missing out on business opportunities that should have been obtained.

Our company, which has supported companies in choosing optimal partners based on 140,000 matching achievements annually, and Goodpatch, which has driven the growth of numerous businesses through the power of UI/UX design, will present the importance of choosing a "design partner" that goes beyond a mere "production company" and advances business.

Key Points of This Session

On the day, Jun Sasou from Goodpatch and Takayuki Iwata from Our Company will present, explaining based on real-world practices from the field, focusing on the following points:

Trends in branding strategies for large corporations

Common pitfalls in branding projects that often fail in large corporations?

With what kind of partner companies should (re)branding proceed smoothly?

What level of preparation should the client side complete before making an inquiry?
