Posted: Wed Dec 04, 2024 10:57 am
UNTYPE is now in its 13th year since its establishment, and is striving for further growth every day.
In order to let more people know what kind of company UNTYPE is, we interviewed the president through our new employee, Ikebe.
The beginning of anti-type
Ikebe : I'm Ikebe, a web director. Thank you for joining us today.
First of all, what made you decide to enter the web industry?
Yamashita : In 1999, when I was 22, I went denmark b2b leads to Toronto, Canada to study English, and was shocked to find out that a friend of mine had a website as a hobby. At the time, I was unusually lucky to have a laptop, and I thought I knew a lot about computers. I was amazed that I could display a page in a browser just by typing text, and I regretted not having known about it. From then on, even though I was in Canada, I stayed in my room and gathered information about the web, and when I returned to Japan, I immediately got a job in the web division of an advertising agency in Tokyo.
Ikebe : Untype hires people with no experience, which is rare for a web production company, but you yourself also started out as a self-taught person.
So how did you end up founding Untype?
Yamashita : I quit the first company I worked for because I felt like I had learned everything I could in a year! My parents run a hardware store and I was planning to take it over, so I joined a furniture sales company to gain retail experience.
However, while I was working there, Miki, my colleague from my time at the agency and current director of Untype, asked me to help out, and gradually the work we did together increased, so I switched to being a freelance web director. I
was working all night as a matter of course, but I still couldn't keep up, so I decided to set up a company to increase the number of employees.
