About us

We believe emotion drives action.

​We create entertainment that sells entertainment. Experiences that sell experiences. ​Human, hands-on, hell yeah moments that make people get up, engage and connect.

We combine the art of design and storytelling with the science of data and technology to respond to the complex challenges brands face in today's fragmented landscape.​

Our work is about your audience and what gets them going. It’s about big ideas and real results. In real time.​

We move people through the power of entertainment. ​

Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence

We are serious about data. We meticulously track and make real-time optimizations on everything from sales tactics to inventory management – and better yet, you’ll have access to it all on your custom-built dashboard empowering you to make informed decisions in real time. Additionally, our team regularly commission studies, panels, focus groups, and surveys to ensure that we understand market behavior and know your audience inside and out. Our in-house research tool “Show and Tell” enables fast, discreet, and cost-effective consumer insights—and turns knowledge into powerful action.

Branding & Creative

Branding & Creative

We believe in breaking through the noise, competing with beauty, and that great design can make a difference.

From strategy and concept design to production, copy, motion and film, we create distinctive cross-platform visual identities and unforgettable integrated campaigns that perfectly capture the essence of your brand and move people to act.

We’re redefining what a digital experience can be across all owned media platforms. Our global team of strategists, designers, and developers create imaginative solutions for web, mobile, and emerging technology platforms—and we use real user insights to keep your consumer at the heart of it all. Whether it’s a ticketing platform, personalized experiences, or something that’s never been done before, we can build it—and they will come. 

Paid Media

We plan and deliver fully integrated multi-platform campaigns that get attention and connect with your audience. Our in-house paid media experts get you the very best rates and unbeatable bonus impressions. Your brand will be seen, heard, and remembered thanks to our bespoke data and planning tools that help us tailor the precise channel mix to maximize performance and return on investment.

Earned Media

Earned Media

We know that word of mouth sells tickets and drives attendance –and our job is to give people something to talk about. Blogger and influencer engagement, events, activations, experiences, bold partnerships, and content are just some of the tools our team employs to ensure your brand gets the attention it deserves.

Shared / Social Media

Shared / Social Media

Social media platforms are often considered a subset of owned media, as you yourself control the content. But once you release your content out into the world, it takes on a life of its own, and engagement and shares become measures of success. That’s where we come in. Our Shared Media team is comprised of social strategists, content creators and community experts to ensure the content ecosystem of your brand is alive and thriving – and shared, in real-time.

Experiential

Experiential

Brands aren’t nouns; they are verbs, and they are meant to be experienced (online, offline, and everywhere in between). Our award-winning team can help you concept, produce, distribute, and sell both live and virtual experiences that engage your most important audiences – and drive revenue. From shows and product launches to virtual galas and sales meetings, we’ve got you covered. 

People

An agency is only as good as its people, and AKA is full of the best. We’re an eclectic group of more than 50 artists, storytellers, leaders, musicians, bakers and jam makers, comedians, authors, Ph.D. recipients, and pet parents. We’re the creators who ask “what if,” the managers who say “here’s how,” and your teammates who cheer “we can.”
