Our story

Three perspectives on HosonoDE

Learn how HosonoDE came to be, who shapes the agency, how we work, and how we act as a technical agency for other agencies and freelancers to support your clients alongside you.

Team working together on a laptop
Our story HosonoDE did not happen overnight. It grew from many individual tasks: improving shops, structuring content, evaluating campaigns, solving technical problems and making processes simpler. Read the story
Ryusei Hosono as the contact person for HosonoDE
The person behind the agency Ryusei Hosono still shapes HosonoDE today. His experience in e-commerce, technology, marketing and business operations defines how we look at projects: not in isolation, but as part of a larger system. Meet the managing director
Person working focused on a laptop
What defines us We do not work from rigid agency packages, but from the perspective of real business problems. That is why we first ask what a company really needs before talking about tools, channels or measures. What we stand for

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers on process, services, markets and how we work together before we start.

We start with a free initial call (around 30 minutes). Use Contact to reach us and share context. For a service overview, see Services. Then we align on goals, key numbers and the current setup (shop, tracking, campaigns, SEO). Based on that, you will get a clear proposal with priorities, an effort estimate and the next steps.

The initial call is intended as a one-time, complimentary entry point per inquiry so we can allocate capacity fairly. If something changed or you need a new slot, email us or use Contact: we will help with rescheduling, a short follow-up check, or a clear next step after the intro call.

Yes. Often this means targeted work on themes, tracking, integrations or shop logic on top of Shopware 6 or via Custom Symfony projects. Larger bespoke features are possible by agreement. Please note: we do not build Shopware plugins as a product line (no plugin shop, no generic plugin factory). For shop-specific needs we combine themes, the app ecosystem and focused custom code. Full scope: Services.

Yes. We plan and implement themes for Shopware 6 and Shopify (layout, components, performance, technical SEO). Scope is clarified in the initial call. Details live on the pages under Services.

Both. We support new shop builds as well as ongoing optimization (e.g. performance, SEO, tracking, campaign structure, theme customization). See Work for examples and Services for what we cover. In many cases we begin with a quick audit and then implement improvements in focused sprints.

Our core focus is Shopware 5/6, performance marketing (including Google Ads and Meta Ads) and SEO. Depending on your setup, we also work with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress & WooCommerce and Custom Symfony projects, including AI automation and HosonoAI. ERP and multichannel setups (e.g. Plentymarkets) are supported where needed; for marketplace selling we also cover Amazon Marketplace. Full overview: Services.

We specialize in German-speaking markets (D-A-CH) and e-commerce: beyond tech and marketing, we advise on payment providers, shipping options and typical regulatory topics in online retail. We mostly work in writing and scheduled slots rather than ad-hoc phone support all day: that keeps work focused, traceable and easier to plan. Examples and scope: Services and Work.

Yes. We are familiar with audiences, competition, common tool stacks, and payment and shipping ecosystems in D-A-CH and broader EU retail. Market entry is planned in the context of your shop. Examples with international or D-A-CH focus are on Work, for instance Flower24 (Switzerland), CSR Automotive or Dr. Wunder. Background reads: Blog.

We can explain typical online retail topics and give practical guidance (e.g. GDPR processes, consent setups, mandatory pages, sensible plugins and shop workflows). We are not lawyers and we do not replace retained legal counsel. For binding legal questions we recommend a law firm. For a first alignment, use Contact.

The team around Ryusei Hosono brings 10 years of professional experience in web and e-commerce from agency and mid-market roles, including several years full-time in SEO, marketing and e-commerce management at a large NRW agency and an SME in Hesse. Context and portrait: About. Delivery and outcomes: Work.

Direct and traceable: email, WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, plus scheduled calls for status and priorities. German and English are fine. We are based in Tokyo, Japan, so please factor in the time zone when booking. On weekdays we are generally available from 10:00 to 18:30 (GMT+9). Saturdays, Sundays and German public holidays are off. Reach us via Contact. Open roles, if relevant: Careers.

Yes, depending on current capacity. For urgent issues (shop incidents, tracking problems, campaign emergencies) we prioritize a quick first analysis and align on what can be fixed immediately. Message us through Contact; we discuss retainers or project models against your needs from Services.

Very transparent. We define scope, priorities and budget upfront and keep you updated on progress and effort. Billing is clear and traceable (minute-accurate or hourly, depending on the setup) so you stay in control of your budget. For scoping, use Contact; service overview: Services.

Yes, that is where the biggest leverage often is. We combine technical work (e.g. Shopware 6, tracking), performance marketing (Google Ads) and SEO with AI automation and HosonoAI for content, feeds, meta fields, reporting and recurring processes. Building blocks: Services.
