Companies that create program content operate in a challenging business environment characterized by diversifying broadcasting formats, rapidly evolving technologies, and severe price competition. There are essentially two kinds of businesses that can survive in this environment: a small number of large production companies that have comprehensive capabilities and focus on content flow; and a small number of elite professional service companies. Passo Passo belongs to the latter category and was founded by a group of seasoned professionals with excellent training and extensive experience.
While few in number, the members of our production staff use a broad network of top specialists that enables us to offer flexible solutions to meet a wide variety of customer needs. We have an excellent reputation in the industry for our ability to handle the many audio and visual formats used today, adapt to new technologies, and work cooperatively with broadcast equipment manufacturers and post-production engineers. We also have ample experience in related fields such as the production of audio/visual educational materials, production planning, film distribution and advertising, and overseas recording. The synergistic effect of these various activities contributes greatly to the quality of our work.
Passo Passo has engaged in joint production projects with people from many countries and in many global media fields. We have also nurtured an open corporate environment that is free from tradition-bound constraints such as gender and personal origin, with the aim of being an ever more active nexus of a large and flexible network.
