Once again, on behalf of my client Servco Pacific, I’ll be providing content of their vehicles during the 2012 First Hawaiian Bank Auto Show. Servco Auto Centers is the parent company to the Toyota, Scion, Lexus, Subaru, and Suzuki automaker brands. I’m looking forward to checking out the Prius Plug-In, Camry Hybrid, and especially the [...]
“Lantern Floating Hawaii allows people a personal moment to remember, reflect and offer gratitude to those who came before us. It is also a collective experience where families, friends and even strangers extend warmth, compassion and understanding to support one-another. We are strengthened as a community as we reach out to support others and build [...]
Politics is never fun. It’s tough, messy, and most often unrewarding. So, I don’t get involved in politics. Instead, I just get involved. My company Pono Media has been retained by the Kirk Caldwell for Mayor 2012 campaign to provide social media strategic support. As with all of my freelance clients, the decision wasn’t immediate.

In 2007 when I purchased this domain my only goal was to create a personal brand. Since then, I’ve been learning, fine tuning, and tuning some more. If you’ve been with me from the beginning you’ve seen as many theme changes as you’ve seen hair color and do’s. I’ve also experimented with sub-domains and even [...]
Earlier this year, Daniel Honigman Co-Founder of The3Six5 invited me to participate in their experiment. In their words, “Every day for 365 days, a different person will write an entry about their experiences that day.

For more than a year I’ve used the repeat tweet process to drive traffic to Holy Kaw, my personal blog(s), Pono Life, clients, and any other causes that I supported. In fact, this methodology was very effective during the Hawaii 2010 elections. But, while the social media industry continues to evolve, so must its practitioners. [...]
Update: As 2011 comes to an end, I wanted to post updates on my blog posts published throughout the year. My pro bono work for Para Hita Todu — providing consultation and infrastructure of social channels — concluded several months ago. PHT launched a website, Facebook page, and Twitter account to convey its message to its [...]
Through the power of social media, I’ve been able to experience many, many things that I otherwise would not. One of those is meeting and working with world renown Chef Roy Yamaguchi. Besides his cuisine, one thing I love about Chef Roy is that he is fo’ real, in the true local sense. He’s a [...]
