Our Journey: Building lasting connections while making an impact
Founder and CEO Kate Lord, a visionary, believed in building more than just an agency – she envisioned a space where clients and communications teams could form genuine connections and thrive in an atmosphere of positivity and meaning. Thus, Akin Agency (previously Harry Communications) was born, with a mission to create profound connections and lasting impact.
A few years into her journey, Kate partnered with seasoned communications professional and entrepreneur Naomi Wilton, a trusted advisor and friend whose alignment with the company’s values and mission was unmistakable. Their shared commitment of fostering strong relationships, unwavering trust, and steadfast reliability laid the cornerstone for Akin’s remarkable journey.
Together, Kate and Naomi nurture and continue to grow Akin on the bedrock of these principles.
The agency’s versatility shines through innovative approaches tailored for businesses across public relations, communications, and government relations. Yet, Kate and Naomi’s vision stretches beyond the workplace – both women determined to craft lasting ties that transcended the mundane.
At the heart of Akin championed by Kate and Naomi, lies an unwavering commitment to enabling change and shaping the future. It’s about shattering glass ceilings, leaving an indelible mark, and lighting the path for generations to follow. Akin embodies the spirit of authenticity, determination and kindness. It is a celebration of doing things your way, being bold, and making a difference with unwavering dedication and honesty.
