Business
Content media
We also run our own web media. The instincts we have built as a company that pays for ads go into how we manage our clients' accounts.
Philosophy
To make humanity fundamentally stronger, and to move it forward.
To nurture people through business.
Guiding Principles
We define what Symbe should be, and run the company while fine-tuning that picture again and again.
Always be testing ways to create new and beautiful answers, in other words, a "Symbe." Keep what works.
Build the products and services you would want to use yourself. Be your own customer.
It's fine to be an amateur adventurer. Accept that experience, prediction, and optimization can lose their value, and start your thinking from the ideal.
Always keep a good batting eye (which pitches to let go and which to swing at), an eye for beauty (how to handle the ones you swing at), and a flexible range of views, vantage points, and perspectives.
Make reversible decisions in seconds. If a decision can be undone with an apology, act right away without asking permission.
Be thoroughly honest. Regardless of position, without missing the moment, speak face to face and tell it as it is.
Never forget loyalty, compassion, and giving back. Value gratitude toward the people around you.
Instead of forcing your way through the front door (the "first door"), look for the side way in: the "third door".
Stay in a good mood. Take charge of your own mood, and always bring a positive atmosphere to those around you.
Do work with impact. Don't play it small; move people's hearts with overwhelming passion and attention to detail.
