hy(x) is a marketing company fully dedicated to creating solutions for social issues.
We support the activities of organizations that are working to solve social issues.
Turning a blind-eye to social issues
and solely focusing on profit
is a business method of the past.
Until now, marketing has been a
means of encouraging mass consumption.
But what has this done for the betterment of society?
We are social change makers.
As marketers,
by using our vast experience,
unique minority-centered point-of-view
and the world's latest know-how,
We believe Minorities will pave the path for a brighter future.
By respecting the opinions of minority groups,
we can discover new values and perspectives that we hadn't noticed before.
We are not bound by precedent or tradition,
but rather dare to take on new values and perspectives.
We operate with the bare minimum necessary infrastructure to ensure that we limit any burden on the environment.
"Contribute to society more Colorfully. More Fabulously."
