What CTTD does

CTTD is a privately held, Seoul-based creative digital marketing agency specializing in commerce, advertising, marketing planning, and branding. The firm operates as a project-based creative consultancy, serving primarily Korean enterprise clients in fashion, beauty, retail, electronics, and financial services. Its core service lines are UX/UI convergence platform design, e-commerce platform design and operation, digital marketing and advertising, promotion strategy, and content planning. The firm emphasizes an insight-driven approach that combines brand value understanding with business strategy to create integrated digital experiences, positioning itself at the intersection of brand and e-commerce.

CTTD's core technology stack centers on design and front-end experience rather than proprietary software. Services include app and web UX/UI design for brand malls, open markets, and PC/mobile platforms; digital marketing across Korean platforms such as Naver, Kakao, Gmarket, and Auction; promotion design for e-commerce campaigns; and e-commerce platform consulting. Named clients include Shinsegae Group (ssg.com, Shinsegae V, S.I.Village), Samsung Electronics (Galaxy Studio, Galaxy Campus), Lotte (Lotte ON), AmorePacific subsidiaries (Aritaum, Apmall, Sulwhasoo, Hera, Laneige, Primera), Kolon Mall, LF Corporation (LF Mall, Hazzys), Qoo10, Converse Korea, and KB Securities. The firm maintains its headquarters at 2F–10F, 8 Teheran-ro 29-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

CTTD's business model is professional services revenue on a project-based, quote-driven pricing structure. Budget tiers range from under 50 million KRW to over 500 million KRW per engagement, with project durations spanning one to two months to nine months or longer. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with new business acquired primarily through a website project request form and direct outreach to enterprise clients. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates as an independent creative consultancy with 11–50 employees. Marketing channels are limited to a portfolio website showcasing brand work, social media, industry award participation (notably the a.n.d award and Korean web/app awards), and recruitment communications.
