Core offering

FreeMotion operates a content-and-technology platform business with three pillars: (1) VIDEO BRIDGE, a matching platform that connects professional video creators (with TV, film, and CM production experience) with companies seeking video production services; (2) full-service video content planning, production, and distribution for corporate, broadcast, and government clients; and (3) cross-border e-commerce for Japanese sake, including owned storefronts (SAKE Master and Vintage SAKE), inbound sake brewery tourism media (Sake Tabi), and operational outsourcing services for sake breweries covering store setup, inventory, export logistics, customs, and multilingual labeling.

Product overview

FreeMotion operates a platform-plus-services portfolio centered on three core business pillars: creator-business matching (VIDEO BRIDGE), video production services, and cross-border e-commerce for Japanese alcoholic beverages. VIDEO BRIDGE serves as the flagship matching platform connecting companies with professional video creators. The video production division handles content creation and distribution across broadcast, streaming, and live commerce channels. The cross-border e-commerce unit encompasses SAKE Master (premium sake export), Vintage SAKE (aged sake specialty), and 酒蔵ツーリズム (inbound sake brewery tourism media), supported by operational services for breweries including export logistics, temperature-controlled warehousing, and multilingual labeling.
