WandeR Studio: Embracing New Horizons in Creativity

On July 7, 2026, Osaka-based WandeR Studio Co., previously known as W.R., announced its official name change to celebrate its 20-year milestone. This transformation reflects the company's evolving vision and commitment to producing meaningful experiences across diverse fields.

A Journey of Evolution

Founded with a focus on experience and event production, WandeR Studio has broadened its scope over the years to include creative production and sports presentations. As the company steps into a new chapter, it embraces a philosophy rooted in its two-decade journey: "Birthing yet unseen verbs." This mission propels the company into a future where creativity transcends conventional boundaries.

To support this ambitious endeavor, Yuki Sawada, a dedicated leader in the sports sector for nearly a decade, has been appointed as a new director, reinforcing the organizational structure to enhance growth and talent development.

The Essence of the New Name: WandeR

The new brand name, WandeR, derives from the English word "wander," symbolizing a relentless quest for discovery. For WandeR Studio, it encapsulates an aspiration to continually explore questions such as "How can we move people's hearts?" and "How can we spark actions?" Instead of settling on definitive answers, the company values the journey of inquiry itself, embodying this spirit within its identity and brand philosophy.

The New Logo: Celebrating Connections

WandeR Studio's newly designed logo emphasizes the theme of “imperfect connections.” It signifies the harmony between various perspectives and expertise, illustrating how these diverse elements can converge to create new value. Instead of presenting completed solutions, the logo encapsulates the ethos of ongoing exploration, further strengthening the brand’s identity.

Launch of the Teaser Site

Accompanying the name change, WandeR Studio has unveiled a teaser site here. The corporate site is anticipated to launch in early August 2026, marking another step in the company's evolution.

Exploring Three Production Domains

The philosophy behind WandeR informs a cross-disciplinary approach that navigates through three distinct production domains to unearth innovative answers. By not confining projects within individual areas, the company aims to blend diverse perspectives to foster new value creation.

• - Experience & Event Production: Crafting unforgettable experiences and events, from corporate functions to grand exhibitions, with end-to-end planning and execution.
• - Creative Production: Interpreting values and translating them into compelling expressions that resonate with the audience, encompassing brand strategies, visuals, and multimedia content.
• - Sports Presentation: Maximizing emotional engagement in sports through comprehensive presentations for professional teams, national competitions, and international events.

Through these interconnected domains, WandeR Studio aspires to lead the way in generating fresh insights and creations.

New Management Structure

In response to the ambitions of expansion and talent cultivation, Yuki Sawada has transitioned into a director role, leveraging his expertise in the sports domain. Under this new leadership, WandeR Studio will pursue diverse projects while continuing to integrate its core areas of experience, creativity, and sports presentations.
