About us – Akahai Marketing

Get to Know the Team

Why the heck would you choose us over the other dozens of agencies out there? We have five great reasons below, but here’s more. We’re hands-on with our clients and can seamless meld into existing teams when needed. We understand that you’re here for the long haul, and so are we. We come from a diverse background of digital marketing disciplines. We are specialized and focused on what we’re good at, making sure our work lets you focus on what you’re good at.

Flexibility

While we can package our services, we adapt to the needs of our customers and their markets. We adjust our resources to focus more on what you value most so you get what you pay for while getting what you want!

Quality

Our genuine interest in your success shows through our work. Creative, superior performance is the natural byproduct of planning, strategy, and attention to detail.

Clarity

You want to get your value just as much as we want to prove ours. Our performance reports demonstrate what we’re up to. Through transparent communication, we like to cover – where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how we’re getting there – together.

Growth

Our clients are more like partners. Each is unique. Each has things to learn and things to teach. While we’re strong in our wheelhouse services, there’s always room for improvement in what we do and how we do it. We like to grow together, improve together, and succeed together.

Modesty

The literal definition of the Hawaiian word, “Akahai,” we are your humble digital marketing experts. Humility is scientifically proven to strengthen social bonds – core to building a strong, lasting community! We simply wouldn’t be here if we weren’t confident we could deliver.

Why We Do Things This Way

Expertise, time, and software – that’s what you’re paying for. Sure you could probably figure this out, but we’re gonna be so much more efficient [we’d better be] than you because this is all we do! We also use a good software stack to support our work. It requires investment, but you’re worth it.

These packages are guidelines, but they’re intentionally built to provide a grouping of complimentary services. Don’t wanna be put in a box? That’s cool! Everything is customizable. In fact, every proposal will be custom in some way. You’re unique, shouldn’t your service be?

Sarah Dowells

Hey there! I’m the creative mastermind behind Akahai Marketing, where I help bring visions to life with bold designs and captivating storytelling. I graduated magna cum laude from Colorado Mesa University (CMU) with a BFA in Graphic Design. With a background in social media marketing and brand development, I spent several years in the professional world until I found my home here as the Graphic Design Specialist for Akahai Marketing.

It was during my time at CMU that I met my wonderful husband. In true Colorado fashion, we love spending time outdoors with our two fur babies – camping, hiking, paddleboarding. When I’m not partnering with Cheyenne to take the marketing world by storm, you can find me training to become a future pro pickleball player or reading the latest release of a new fantasy series. Never know where creative inspiration can come from!

This ain't our first rodeo.

Akahai’s digital marketing experience comes from a number of industries but primarily public relations, where the competition is fierce and opposition is cut-throat. We can help companies thrive and stand out in the harshest landscapes.
