Dotline Branding, designed by Tomohiro Kaji, has set a new benchmark in digital brand identity by winning the prestigious Golden A' Design Award 2025 in the Website and Web Design category. The project, launched in August 2024, was commissioned to revitalize Dotline's corporate presence and recruitment strategy, reflecting the company's dynamic expansion across medical, welfare, and educational sectors. The website's design is rooted in the concept of "Social Heroes," unifying Dotline's diverse operations under a single, compelling narrative that emphasizes teamwork, social contribution, and local community impact.

The website stands out for its cohesive yet flexible design system, integrating Dotline's philosophy, business insights, and employee stories within a visually engaging, smartphone-first interface. Custom typography, motion graphics, and a modular layout ensure both brand consistency and adaptability, supporting the needs of 21 distinct business lines. The platform's user experience was meticulously crafted through weekly client collaboration, iterative refinement, and a focus on accessibility, resulting in a seamless digital journey that resonates with both job seekers and stakeholders.

Underpinned by qualitative research and data-driven insights, Dotline Branding directly addressed recruitment challenges in Japan's welfare industry. The new digital identity and advertising strategy led to a 160% increase in mid-career hires and a 340% rise in new graduate recruitment, demonstrating the tangible impact of design on business outcomes. The project's success highlights the power of thoughtful, research-backed design to elevate brand perception, drive engagement, and set new standards for digital communication in the sector.
