What Datasat does

Datasat (有限会社データサット) is a Toyama Prefecture-based creative production company founded in 2001 that delivers integrated marketing and communications services to local small and medium businesses. Its service portfolio spans website design and development built primarily on WordPress CMS, social media advertising management across Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), YouTube, and LINE, video production and drone aerial filming using DJI Mavic 3 Pro equipment under nationwide MLIT permits, comprehensive printing and graphic design (business cards, pamphlets, catalogs, company emblems, novelty items, signboards), and IT support including corporate PC setup, troubleshooting, and security. The company packages these offerings under a 'Triple Media Marketing' (トリプルメディアマーケティング) framework that integrates website, SNS, and video into a unified customer-acquisition deliverable.

The firm operates with 1-10 employees from a single headquarters in Toyama City (Tenshoji 1083, Kawakami Building 6F) and explicitly restricts service delivery to Toyama Prefecture customers. Distribution runs through inside sales (phone 076-420-7677, email, web conference), self-serve website contact form inquiry, and in-person consultation at the Toyama office. As of June 2024, the company reports serving approximately 3,900 cumulative corporate clients and 250+ website production projects over its operating history, implying roughly 7% penetration of Toyama Prefecture's ~49,000 businesses.

Datasat's revenue model blends project-based fees (website production tiers JPY 180,000-880,000, drone flights JPY 40,000-80,000, photo shoots JPY 38,000-72,000, moving pamphlets from JPY 70,000) with subscription maintenance (JPY 5,000-15,000/month) and recurring SNS/Google Business Profile management (e.g., LINE ads JPY 30,000/month management fee, GBP JPY 8,000/month). Free subsidy application support for the Small Business Sustainability Subsidy functions as a customer acquisition lever intended to convert approved applicants into contracted production clients. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent company, no institutional investors, and no reported M&A activity.
