Kobo Design Limited

Based in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong, Kobo Design Limited works with B2B businesses on website development and corporate branding. Founded in 2010 as a design-focused studio, the agency's work has shifted over time toward rebranding companies going through changes in management or culture, or those seeking to differentiate through brand identity in competitive markets. The team is small, with founder and Creative Director Sean Okihiro serving as the main point of contact for clients across channels such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Signal or email, supported by Bobby Lee on business development. The agency's core offering is described as "SEO first website development," structured around three stages: strategy, prototype and build, and iterate. In the strategy phase, it researches a client's existing site, competitors and relevant keywords to define content and UX flow. The build phase involves designing multiple options and refining them through rounds of feedback. Post-launch, the agency monitors traffic and lead generation, continuing to adjust SEO and run campaigns for clients who stay on retainer. Beyond web design, declared services include branding, UX/UI design, content marketing, social media marketing, advertising and public relations, with particular emphasis on translating technical or corporate messaging into brand identities aimed at building trust with B2B audiences.
