We are made up of over 50 individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds – big agency consultants through to in-house experts, and a design and film production arm made up of creative specialists. At AKA, we believe that a good idea is naturally social. We don’t work in silos; our team of seasoned comms professionals is skilled in delivering fully integrated brand campaigns to reach your stakeholders through the right communications channels – whether through earned media, social media, owned channels, experiences, strategic partnerships or internal communications
