Amazon Data Services was launched a few months ago to promote and support Amazon’s web services here in Japan.
As part of their marketing effort they decided to create an original poken which is being given out to attendees at conferences, speakers at study groups and other events…

Not only the cap was specialy made, also the Poken.com website has been customized with a banner, default card background and contacts for all these AWS pokens.

Please contact us at info@poken.jp if you are considering an original poken for your event or campaign.

Last but not least, Amazon Web Services（AWS） is hiring!

The first customized Poken Pulse was presented today!

KDDI Web Communications, in partnership with Google Japan, announced at a press conference on January 13 that their server hosting service CPI is expanding its lineup of services. From today on they offer a Hybrid Hosting solution linking their standard web servers to Google’s “Google Apps Premier Edition” service.

All attendees at the press conference received an original Poken Pulse with the KDDI and CPI logos imprinted.

Details of the service can be found here (Japanese only).

Poken Pulse was used not simply as a give-away gadget. Inside the Pulse’s 2GB of USB memory the attendees could find the press release, logo files, and other useful documentation. On top of that everyone received a little card which allows them to win several very nice prizes.

Being one of the leading companies riding the Social Media wave, the KDDI Web Communications PR people invited everyone to tweet during the press conference using hashtag #kwc. It was awesome to see the real-time stream of messages that followed.
