Online English Learning App for Children
Challenges

Unclear Market Entry Strategy

<p>The client was unsure how to approach marketing for the Japanese market, with little local insight or strategic direction.</p>

Our Solution

Local Research and Strategy Planning

<p>We launched a market survey and built a tailored plan using the results, aligning marketing efforts with Japanese parental expectations.</p>

Challenges

Child-Friendly Language Localization

<p>The client’s internal team couldn’t manage the workload and needed help translating app content in a way that young Japanese users could understand.</p>

Our Solution

Child-Appropriate Copywriting

<p>Our translators localized all app and web content using language accessible to children, with multiple review rounds to ensure clarity.</p>

Challenges

UI/UX Misalignment with Japanese Preferences

<p>The client’s original UI/UX design reflected Western standards, which did not fully resonate with Japanese user behavior.</p>

Our Solution

UI/UX Redesign for Japanese Users

<p>Our design team conducted user research and collaborated with the client to implement a layout and flow suited for Japanese parents and kids.</p>

Challenges

Low-Converting Landing Page

<p>The existing landing page wasn’t optimized for Japanese audiences and failed to generate the desired number of inquiries.</p>

Our Solution

Fast, Localized Landing Page

<p>We created a new Japanese-language landing page targeting mothers, with fast load speeds and content designed to boost conversion rates.</p>
