A community-first investment company at the intersection of urban and outdoor environments.
We fell in love with Aker the moment we met the team.
We learned about their vision for the future of American cities, community-oriented focus, and lifelong enthusiasm for the outdoors.
What they had in direction, the beautiful “why” behind their work, they lacked in external brand communication.
That's where we came in.
We ran in-depth-interviews and background workshops to get the foundations right. We built a storytelling narrative. We expanded their existing mark into a full blown visual direction including their new Aker logo. We crafted a differentiated investor presentation to help them secure fundraising for new projects.
Finally, we worked with our partners at Oimachi to design a corporate website to wow the world.

A NEW STORY AND LOOK FOR COMMUNITY-FIRST CHANGE MAKERS.
Aker's visual expression is a combination of clean, neutral palettes and contrasted images of the natural and built worlds. We applied this visual narrative across web and print. This direction is a simplified expression of their brand story, designed to capture the intersection of urban, outdoor, community and all of the innovation that the brilliant Aker team brings to their projects.
