Who we are

TAMKO X is a boutique digital communications shop based in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Tokyo, Japan.

We are part of the TAM Group, a Japanese digital production collective founded in 1992. For the past 30 years, specialized teams at TAM have worked with over 800 clients of all sizes and industries. 150 of them are publicly traded companies.

The TAM Group is based in Japan and has independently operating locations around the world. Our approach is to act as a partner and co-create value with our clients.

Our core

ー Humanity-focused

We aim to produce work that adds value to people’s lives, not interrupt them. More than loud ads, flashy labels, users and clicks, we believe that marketing is about people to people.

ー Culturally-led

Local no matter where. As a Japanese and American team, our focus is to create a bridge. We strive to natively understand our clients and natively empathize with their customers.

ー Reality-driven

The world is constantly changing and the way we communicate is always evolving. We strategize and execute based on current realities.
