As 2024 wraps up, we want to extend a huge thank you to all our clients, partners, and team. 💛 Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season and an even brighter 2025 ahead. ✨ Here's to more growth, success, and shared achievements in the new year! Happy Holidays from all of us at Akoova! 🎉🎄

Our brilliant client Diptyque Paris are getting in the festive spirit and spreading some holiday magic with a little help from felt artist Lucy Sparrow. The artist and her team handcrafted upwards of 5,000 exclusive felt creations to transform a dedicated space within two of the brand's flagship stores - London and Paris - into a stunning recreation of a traditional quaint delicatessen. Lucy is the latest artist to work their magic on the conceptual exhibition space - known as the Ephemeral Space - within these two stores, joining a list of influential artists that include French sculptor Cyril Lancelin. Additionally, Lucy has also designed this year's packaging of Diptyque Paris's scent collection of sought-after candles.

When serving as CTO at a major online retailer, our CEO & Co-Founder Osvaldo Spadano experienced first-hand the frustration of traditional hosting providers, including navigating time-wasting ticketing systems while trying to fix time-sensitive ecommerce issues. “Communicating via ticketing systems was ineffective for problem-solving or collaboration. Waiting for responses felt like a black hole of inefficiency. I knew there had to be a better way.” Out of this belief, Akoova was born. At Akoova, we don’t hide behind ticketing-systems. We collaborate closely with our supreme clients via a dedicated Slack channel, proactively identifying and solving problems. We foster genuine and trusted partnerships with our clients, understanding their business, their strategies, their challenges.
