Whatever
Workstyle
Our Co-Creator concept allows global talent who don't fit the typical mold of commercial production to have a new kind of representation. Whatever offers talent the clients, network, knowledge, and facilities in Tokyo, Taipei, Berlin and New York. Whether as the lead or creative voice, they can raise their hand to any project that comes into our company, and from that point on, are paid a project-based fee. The flexible work style allows us to pursue dream projects for non-exclusive talent and have global perspectives on every assignment.

01
Flexible employment options
To ensure that each member of the team can maximize their creativity, we have a Co-Creator system as well as the usual employment structure. In addition to no commitment to the work, everyone is free to use Whatever’s network, knowledge and facilities, and to raise their hand on any project that comes to us. We have a project-based fee structure that starts to accrue from the moment you raise your hand. Our flexible work style allows you to work in a way that suits your career and life stage.

This is not only the work base for Whatever, WTFC, and Bassdrum, but also functions as a place where various creative staff can come and go and co-create through the shared office space on the 5th floor and New Stand Tokyo on the 1st floor.
