ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 15, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AccessKey IP, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AKYI), the developer, designer and producer of advanced entertainment and communication devices, has announced today that its consumer electronics subsidiary, TeknoCreations, has retained Dirk Foster on a consulting basis in order to develop the company's brand through targeted media exposure and consumer awareness. Mr. Foster is President and owner of SparksFly PR, a Los Angeles based public relations firm specializing in consumer electronics and video game peripherals.
TeknoCreations specializes in pioneering new ways to enhance the consumers experience with electronic entertainment through fresh technological innovation. The company's flagship gaming product is the InCharge, a contactless inductive remote control charger for the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft XBOX 360 and Sony PS3 video game systems.
Dirk Foster launched SparksFly PR in Los Angeles in 2006 with the recognition that many companies simply don't have the experience or funds to execute a strong, successful publicity campaign, or they simply need to outsource specific projects. A successful marketing mix includes diligent media relations, event management and constant attention to detail and follow-up which many companies are not prepared to handle. SparksFly was created in order to fill that need at an affordable rate. Dirk has more than a decade of experience in business-to-consumer and business-to-business public relations and marketing. Prior to starting SparksFly PR, Dirk was the Director of Public Relations and Marketing for Pelican, the leading brand of video game accessories in the nation. During his tenure with Pelican sales grew from $4 million to over $100 million.
Mark Kasok, TeknoCreations' Vice President of Sales and Marketing commented, "In talking with Dirk I was impressed with his vast knowledge and contacts in the gaming industry." Mr. Kasok further stated, "I feel his expertise in the gaming industry will get our company and products well known in the gaming market. I the look forward to working with Dirk on this on other future projects."
