The Akāw Marketing Toolbox™

These posts are as much an aide-mémoire for me as they are a helpful resource for others 😄

The digital landscape moves quickly, and tools, platforms, and best practices evolve faster than most of us would like to admit. Documenting this helps me clarify what’s actually working right now.

Neo-brutalist web design is one of the most misunderstood visual trends on the modern web.

The Akāw site shares a lot of the components of Neo-Brutalist design with its minimalist design, exposed layout logic and high-contrast visuals. I thought I'd do a breakdown of its components to better understand why it was a natural step from brutalist and homogenised (bland) web design. You can read it here...

Akāw for one, has finally welcomed our new Ai overlords (although to be fair I already use Ai to speed up our coding process)

While traditional photoshoots remain an essential part of our creative process, we’ve learned to embrace AI as a powerful tool that enhances how we serve our clients.

Rather than replacing photography, AI works alongside it. It gives us flexibility and speed where it matters most, without the time and cost of a full photoshoot. While traditional shoots continue to deliver the tactile, real-world detail that only physical garments can provide. For our UK-based brands, this provides a practical solution for the problems presented by our unpredictable weather 🙂
