What is POKE?

POKE is a creative company. A creative company that focuses on imagining and making interactive things.

Most of the work you'll see if you look in our portfolio is web based. Mainly because the Internet is the biggest and most interesting space we can play in right now. See, the thing is, the internet currently gives us the best opportunity to try 'next level shit'. And we like that.

But we're not just interested in doing creative things for the sake of it. We're motivated by inventing creative ways to use all of this good stuff to do things better. Better for businesses and better for people who use the things we make.

Sound vague? Awesome! We'd rather not put ourselves in a box that might limit how we're thought of and what we're allowed to do. Especially as it's all changing so fast.

But what does POKE actually do?

If you're determined to pin us down the best place to start is probably the portfolio. Hopefully you'll be able to get a feel for the kinds of things we do by looking at what we've done. Just remember, we've just gotten started and as we see it, there's a lot of work to be done!

Are you an online advertising agency?

In a word: "Yno".

Hmm... that's a tough one. The way we see, it we don't create advertising. But, the things we create do 'advertise'.

As the media landscape fragments, we're concentrating on making brilliant interactive things (or as good as we can possibly make them) that communicate in the right way. We want to build experiences, digital products, services, content, the things that people engage with. You can call what we create advertising if you'd like. We like to call it awesome.

Can I get a job, etc?

This is one of the Q's we most F get A'd. So we've built a special page to deal with it. Visit the working with POKE section for more info.

I really like that thing you did for X, can you do me one of those?

The short answer is no. Not unless you are actually X and you need exactly the same solution that you needed when we did that thing for you before, or whatever.

Of course there are occasions when a piece of technology or a technique we've used might be appropriate for another company. But we think it'd be much better to look at what your needs are and cook something up together. Our business is most definitely not building templates or technology. The thing that excites us is coming up with new and better things each and every time we sit down and face a problem, and it'll be more exciting for you too, really it will.

Do you partner with people?

Absolutely. POKE was founded on the principle of partnership. There's some more information on partnership on the working with POKE page.

Can I speak to someone about...?

If you're just lonely or have something to get off your chest there might be better places to go. But if you want to find out more about what we do, or to talk about working with POKE, check the Contact Us page. There's various ways that you can get in touch.
