What 주식회사 얼스 (Earth co.,ltd) does

주식회사 얼스 (Earth co.,ltd) is a Seoul-based creative studio founded in 2009 that operates as both a full-service branding agency and a brand accelerator. The company provides an integrated portfolio of design services spanning brand strategy, visual identity systems, naming, graphic design, exhibition design, space experience design, content production, UI/UX design, editorial design, package design, data visualization, and ESG/sustainability communications. EARTH serves a diverse client base including major Korean corporates (LG Chem, YG Entertainment, Naver entities, Samsung-affiliated Solum), global technology platforms operating locally (Meta Korea), cultural and government institutions (Seoul Craft Museum, Baekbeom Kim Ku Memorial Hall, Sungkyunkwan University, Naver Cultural Foundation), social enterprises (HISBEANS, Westart), and emerging startups (Brikka, Overlab, SORRYNOTSORRY).

The company generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven engagements sold via direct client relationships rather than productized distribution. Notable long-running engagements include a 3-year Meta Korea brand magazine collaboration (2021-2022), multi-year LG Chem ESG report design (2019-2022), and ongoing work with 안전가옥 (Safety House) since 2017. In 2019, the studio expanded its business model by launching OASSI (오아씨), a brand accelerator sub-brand that grows purpose-centered brands in collaboration with external partners, signaling a strategic shift from pure service delivery toward partnership-based brand building. The studio maintains a separate archive platform (Earth Archive at eartharchive.kr) and is active on Instagram and LinkedIn for portfolio-based lead generation. EARTH is privately held, founder-owned, operates without external institutional investment, and runs with a lean 5-person team from its headquarters at Togye-ro 18-gil in Jung-gu, Seoul.
