Beyond Translation. Built for Production.
Specialized bridge communicators for game and animation companies working across Japanese and English-speaking teams.
WHO WE ARE
Opening Markets Beyond Translation
Back Office Brigade (BOB) helps game and animation companies communicate more effectively across Japanese and English-speaking teams. While language is an important part of what we do, our role goes beyond translation. Our bridge communicators are trained in production workflows, industry terminology, and cross-cultural communication, allowing us to help clients navigate meetings, conferences, and ongoing production relationships with greater clarity and confidence.
Founded by industry professionals with years of experience working with international teams, BOB was created to address a common challenge: great creative partnerships often struggle not because of talent, but because of communication gaps. By combining language skills with an understanding of game development and animation pipelines, we help studios reduce misunderstandings, strengthen client relationships, and unlock new opportunities in Japan and Southeast Asia.
Whether supporting a single meeting, representing a company at a conference, or serving as an embedded communication partner throughout production, our mission is simple: to help creative teams work together more smoothly across languages, cultures, and borders.
