Our passion lies in catalyzing the “Success” of others—be it our Clients or your colleagues. Join us as we set out to propel our small business toward becoming Japan’s #1 marketing agency from both a brand and impact standpoint, but also as a culture and team-driven employer.
We’re looking for fearless thinkers who are eager to impact lives, foster collaboration, and help Humble Bunny shine as a leading brand. Here, your ideas matter, and you’ll have the platform to make them a reality.
Humble Bunny has instilled the concept of work-life integration, by defining a culture code that allows members from different backgrounds and cultures to maximize their individuality and enrich not only their work but also their lives, leading to the success of their clients.
This concept is based on the life experiences and entrepreneurial spirit of Nate, the CEO of Humble Bunny.
Shortly after coming to Japan, I taught English and did graphic design at a startup company.
There, I learned a lot and honed my business sense, but because I was too focused on work and only on results, I was not able to enjoy Japanese culture and life time, and I was living a life that was different from the ideal work life I had imagined when I came to Japan. In terms of quality of life, I remember the feeling of being unfulfilled as if it were yesterday. After this experience, I wanted to realize the ideal way of working at Humble Bunny, with the work life values that are based on enjoying and enriching life as the axis.
Now, as the representative of Humble Bunny, I take charge of various projects, but I always cherish family time with my children and wife, and strive to deepen my understanding of the wonderful culture of Japan, a peaceful country. I hope that
the members working at Humble Bunny will value their private lives as much as I do.
This is linked to the idea of work-life integration, which is to enrich not only the work of members but also their lives, leading to the success of clients and forming a corporate culture. Of course, it is important to work efficiently and quickly to provide high-quality solutions to clients responsibly. We also believe it is important to avoid overworking yourself and taking on a large amount of work, which can put a strain on your mental health.
We are looking for people who can work honestly and humbly for Humble Bunny members and clients. We hope
to meet members who value not only work but also lifestyle, enjoy life, and help transform Tokyo into an international mindset!
