Our Story
Over the Years
2014
Dabbling in e-commerce
- Our journey began in 2014 when Aspire Products was established, initially on eBay and then progressing onto Amazon, Etsy, and our own website. Through trial and error, we learned how to get the best ROI through our digital marketing campaigns. We still run successful e-commerce stores selling widgets like Superhero Party Invites.
2017
Private Labelling
- In 2017, we ventured into private labeling, handling the branding of our pet products along with digital marketing. This was a great adventure for us, as we love dogs! Again, plenty more learning about SEO, social media and Amazon PPC. (Bonus trivia: Our Doodle Nala kindly modeled our products)
2020
Helping other Business Owners
- In 2020, we began helping other local businesses with their digital efforts using the knowledge gained from our own experience. Despite the challenges of COVID, we, like everyone else, powered through and continued to grow our portfolio of successful campaigns.
Questions We Often Hear

What if I already have an in-house marketing team?
Even if you have an in-house marketing team, Akoca can provide valuable support and expertise.
We can work with your team to fill any knowledge gaps or provide specialised services, such as SEO or social media management.
How much involvement do you expect from your clients during the project?
We expect a certain level of involvement from our clients during the project to ensure we fully understand their business and goals.
We typically require client input on branding and messaging, as well as feedback and approval throughout the project.
However, we understand that our clients may be busy running their own business, so we work to make the process as smooth and streamlined as possible.
How long does it take to see results from your digital marketing services?
The timeline for seeing results from digital marketing services can vary depending on the specific goals and strategies employed.
Some PPC campaigns may see results fairly quickly, while others like SEO may take several months to fully materialise.
We work closely with our clients to set realistic expectations and communicate progress along the way.
2014 - Dabbling in e-commerce
Back in 2014, Aspire products was established. Initially on eBay and then progressing onto Amazon, Etsy & of course our own website, Aspire grew. With this came ALOT of learning through plenty of trial and error all in order to get the best ROI through our Digital Marketing campaigns. This meant learning & implementing as much as possible on eBay promoted listings, Google Ad shopping campaigns & SEO.
2017 - Private Labeling
After gaining an understanding of the playing field, we thought we would try something new – this led us on onto private label. From the designing of the Logo, product & packaging, we handled the branding of our pet products along with the Digital Marketing. Again, plenty more learning about SEO, social media and Amazon PPC. Quite an adventure, nice though as we love dogs! (Bonus trivia: Our Doodle Nala is the model in the photos)
2020 - Helping other Business Owners
At the beginning of 2020, we started helping other local businesses with their Digital efforts by applying all that had been learned so far… Fast forward a month, Covid happened (not the best start), but we’ve powered through like everybody else. In addition, we have started yet another e-commerce project being The Cute Little Giftshop.
