LinkAge Corporation

LinkAge, Inc. was born in August 2008.

We have consistently worked with over 2,000 organizations from children's photography to sales. Our service is based on the philosophy of "turning all love into power" and uses photography and video.

We are the expressionist of growth using photos and videos. As an expression of growth, we aim not only to "communicate" but also to "convey". We gather the elements of growth that are scattered throughout the world and make adults aware of them. We will do our best to make the adults aware of the children's growth.

In order to ensure that the connection between people does not diminish with the development of technology, Linkage will continue to aim to create a culture that will become an ideal of new values as an organization that gives form to ideas with an open mind.

LinkAge Business Model

LinkAge employees and contract photographers visit "educational institutions," mainly kindergartens, nursery schools, and certified childcare centers, as well as organizations operating children's classes and sports clubs, to photograph events and daily life. The important moments ("photos and videos" = "products") of each second captured there are sold through the "memoridge" photo sales system.
*We currently deal mainly with kindergartens, nursery schools, certified childcare centers, elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities.
Basically, we do not receive a photography fee from each organization, and our photographers and creators take pictures for free. In order to commercialize the data, we interview each organization about the "memories and records they want to preserve," shoot and edit them, and post them on a photo and video sales site called "memoridge" for parents and families to purchase, thereby securing profits.
