Iowa based · nationwide reach · since 2007
Akili is the behind-the-scenes marketing partner for small businesses, nonprofits, consultants and wellness brands. One partner for the strategy, the website, the search visibility, the ads and the words, so the work that grows your organization stops living on your own to-do list.
No pitch deck, no pressure. You leave the call with a recommendation either way.
Start with the call. The plan is yours either way.
Why people call us
Most owners and directors we meet already know roughly what should happen. What they do not have is fifteen hours a week, a designer, a writer and someone watching the ad account. That is the gap Akili fills, and we start with strategy rather than a list of deliverables.
Solutions
Every engagement starts with strategy: what you sell, who decides, and what has to be true for growth. The services below are how that strategy gets executed.
Marketing leadership without a six-figure hire. Positioning, the plan, the budget and the priorities, with someone accountable for the number.
A site built around the decision your visitor is trying to make, not around a template. Strategy, copy, design, build and the SEO foundation under it.
Be the answer when someone searches for the problem you solve. Technical foundation, content that earns the click, and reporting you can act on.
Certified Google Partner. Campaigns built to buy qualified conversations, not impressions, with a budget you control.
Your story told consistently, so the audience that finds you actually recognizes you. Strategy, content and community management.
Our own platform. Every client gets a live, branded dashboard for rankings, competitors, AI answer visibility and monthly reporting.
The words do the selling. Web copy, campaigns and content written in your voice, aimed at one action.
The process
Twenty minutes on what you sell, who buys and what is stuck. No deck, no discovery fee.
Scope, sequence and timeline in plain language within a week. Yours to keep either way.
You review at two checkpoints. We handle everything between them.
Monthly reporting and a partner who flags things before you notice them.
Selected work
A single site that had to speak to investors, jobseekers and the community at once.
Built around the two things visitors actually search for: what's here, and when it's open.
Listen live, program schedule and giving moved above the fold, where the audience was already looking.
Donate and volunteer as the only two calls to action, on every screen size.
Built by us, included with us
Flojo is our own marketing platform. Instead of a PDF once a month, you get a branded dashboard that shows search and AI answer visibility, competitor movement and the wins from the month, updated continuously.
In their words
“The common issue I run into with marketing companies is too general of an approach. I have a unique product and most companies have not taken the time to understand my unique selling position. Leng spent time listening and asking relevant questions so she understood what I want to accomplish and what hurdles I am having in route to that goal.”
“As a small non-profit with a hands-on board, we needed a website that was both intuitive and easy to update. Leng delivered exactly what we were looking for. Not only did she provide a seamless, well-executed solution, but she continues to offer valuable guidance.”
“Leng and her team at Akili Design produced some beautiful work, definitely surpassing my expectations which were already high. Her work was always on time and her flexibility with last minute changes kept things very stress-free.”
“She has been a great resource for navigating social media, paid digital advertisements and digital marketing, search engine optimization, and more. She is a problem solver, very responsive, and excels at anything marketing in the digital space and beyond.”
