Happy 5th Anniversary SAKK!

One of the great joys of working at Six Apart has been getting to know and work with our Japanese team at Six Apart Japan (SAKK). The closest I'd ever been to Tokyo before coming to Six Apart was Narita Airport, but I've now had the opportunity to travel there many times in the last couple of years - I even brought my family there earlier this year and took the girls to Disney Sea - and really admire the country, the people, and the culture.

I've always been impressed with the great people at SAKK, who are smart, creative and hard working, and they've done a great job being the undisputed leaders in what is clearly one of the largest markets for blog software and services in the world.

This week SAKK celebrated its 5 year anniversary and I wanted to say congratulations and thanks to Nob Seki (the GM of SAKK) and the entire SAKK team, as well as a hearty thanks to all of our partners and clients throughout Japan who have made Six Apart Japan what it is.
