Pepito - Mascot |
 |
Who is Pepito?
He's precocious, and cute. He loves kids and "big people" alike
and has become a world traveler via his GKG Internet access.
If you have not had the opportunity to meet Pepito, our lovable
mascot, then you are missing a very warm experience. Adults
and children flock to hug, touch and be near this cuddly
kid who helps tie together our colorful past and our vibrant
present.
His name is derived from our CEO's Nickname coupled with
a children's rhyme he grew up reciting when growing up in
Mexico. Pepito is a child because use of the Internet can
be compared to the child like qualities we all posses; a
world of information at your fingertips ready to be absorbed.
Pepito has furthered his imagination through his vast Internet
travels. He views the world through his imaginary telescope
made from a toilet paper roll. |
