1st customized Poken Pulse in Japan

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

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).

Follow the CPI team on Twitter: cpiadjp

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.

EU Gateway Programme report

Friday, December 4th, 2009

As mentioned in our previous blog post the [ EU Gateway Programme - ICT Trade Fair was held on December 2-3. Place to be was the splendid Hilton Hotel in Shinjuku.

We’re happy to announce that the trade fair went very well and we would like to thank everyone who visited us. We really hope you had a chance to meet with interesting companies and who knows sometime in the not too distant future we’ll see several of these companies enter the Japanese market with their products and services.

Of course, we offered our pokens with an original EU-Gateway cap, not only to the visitors but also to all participating companies and staff members. Just a great way for everyone to meet in real life, connect and stay in touch online through the power of Poken.
