Why Melbourne businesses work with Aki
Built for small businesses
Independent shops, cafés, studios and local brands. We plan around your opening hours, your busy days and what actually sells.
Strategy and content together
Strategy and execution work best when the same studio is producing the photos, videos, and copy that bring the plan to life.
Foodies, but people first
We love food, and we eat where we film. What we care about most is the people behind the counter. We'd rather know you by name than by account number.
Who we work with
Aki Media works with Melbourne small businesses, including independent cafés, restaurants, and other local businesses. The studio is a good fit for owners who want practical support and a clearer marketing direction without hiring a full in-house team.
We came to Melbourne for two years and never got around to leaving. What kept us are the neighbourhoods, the small places that make a street feel like somewhere.
