The brief

What we did.

01 / The engagement

The new and improved Akka brand is a merger of three separate brands: Lightbend, Akka and Kalix. The new Akka brand speaks directly to their target audience of Operators, Developers and Architects—with the promise of arming digital dreamers with the technological tools to change the world. This re-brand began with a sound strategic position for the company, and expanded to everything from a new identity, messaging, corporate website, sales collateral, and pitch deck.

02 / The thinking

The digital experiences of the future require levels of performance and resiliency not possible with most systems today. Akka will be the gold standard for building, operating and securing the world's most awe-inspiring digital experiences of tomorrow.
