ABOUT
One team to hand your whole digital presence to.
Nextcreative is a digital partner based in Fukuoka. From websites and e-commerce to social media, AI, and automation, we handle a business’s whole digital presence — and we don’t just build it, we stay until it delivers results. Bilingual (JP/EN), so we support going global and entering Japan too.
Who we are
Language and culture barriers quietly limit what a business can achieve. As a two-language team, we help clients cross those barriers — by actually building, not just advising.
As staffing shortages deepen, we cut workload with AI and internal tools, and support subsidy applications too. From Fukuoka, we serve clients across Japan and worldwide, remotely.
What we bring
One partner for all of it
Website, e-commerce, social, AI, automation — one team instead of juggling four vendors.
We make it stick
We don't just hand it off — we stay until it's adopted and delivering results.
Strong in AI & automation
Beyond websites: the AI assistants, automation, and internal tools that run your business.
Bilingual & global too
Delivery and support in JP/EN — and when you're ready, overseas expansion and inbound.
Subsidy support
We check which subsidy programs may apply to your project and run alongside you through preparation — lowering your cost.
Dedicated client portal
Track progress, deliverables, and support in real time — with fast, consistent responses.
