- Ace Hardware Content Development Manager

Ace Hardware's in-house content team faced significant challenges in quickly and effectively creating consumer-facing video content. Limited bandwidth and shifting priorities resulted in a backlogged approval process, dozens of unused assets, and a stale social stream.

Ace needed help breaking through the production log-jam, utilizing unused assets, and creating polished, ready-to-distribute pieces. 

Within the first week of the engagement, AKA released the bottleneck for Ace’s content team. Equipped with brand guidelines, business goals, key insights, and Ace’s raw video footage, AKA quickly delivered tailored content for the company’s e-commerce platform and multiple social channels, including Meta and YouTube.

Engagement Milestones—Ace Hardware's YouTube channel saw rapid growth, reaching 100 million views.

Ongoing Partnership—AKA’s partnership with Ace Hardware goes beyond addressing immediate video challenges. Continued collaboration has allowed the Ace team to consistently convert raw footage into usable, shareable content that drives consumer engagement.

Transforming Industry Perception: SAC Wireless Branded Content Strategy

“The AKA team is incredible. They really get us, what we do, and what we need to do. Every piece of content reflects SAC values in the right way.”
- SAC Wireless, Senior Marketing Communications Leader

SAC Wireless, a Nokia Company, had historically been perceived as a construction company focused on building cell towers. As the company expanded its B2B offerings, executive leadership wanted the organization to be recognized as a full-service industry leader. However, they lacked a well-defined marketing strategy.

To change how industry partners, competitors, and employees understood their unique value proposition, SAC required a solution to communicate its full offerings. These communications needed to span the company's thought leadership, sales presentations, trade shows, internal communications, media relations, digital advertising, and recruitment messaging.

AKA helped SAC define its core values and built on these pillars to create a cohesive communications plan that delivered these messages with captivating content that solidified SAC's industry leadership.

The Results

End-To-End Value—AKA provided SAC with the language and content to highlight its capabilities as a full-service provider of streamlined and innovative wireless services.

Elevated Thought Leadership—SAC established itself as an industry leader, addressing critical topics and showcasing its area expertise through a content strategy that focused on SAC achievements, case studies, company culture, recruiting, and opportunistic content.

Strengthened Workforce—Through internal communication and a recruitment strategy that emphasized training and retainment, SAC showcased itself as an employer committed to employee safety and best-in-class service.
