How We Helped Author Santino Akot Share His Story With the World

Santino Akot had a powerful story and a book to share, but no brand, no message and no website. We built all of it from scratch, so readers, schools and organizations can find his books and invite him to speak.

The Challenge

Santino Akot is one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. He walked away from war as a child, spent about ten years in a refugee camp and built a new life in Las Vegas. He wrote about it in There and Back Again: A Journey of Hope, Love and Forgiveness. But a great story only matters if people can find it, and Santino was starting with nothing online. He came to us on the recommendation of Ayak Mithyang, another client of ours.

What We Did

• Shaped his message, so his website tells his story in his own voice: hope, resilience and a place to call home.
• Built his brand from the ground up: logo, look and feel, and the whole website.
• Made the books easy to buy, with a books page that links straight to Amazon.
• Set him up for speaking, with an events calendar and an easy way for schools and organizations to get in touch.
• Connected it to his nonprofit, Akot Journey of Hope, so readers who are moved by his story can help.

The Results

• A complete author brand, from zero. Santino has a professional home online for his books, his speaking and his story.
• Readers who keep going. The site regularly sends visitors on to his nonprofit’s website.
• A happy client who came back for more. Santino asked us to build his nonprofit’s website too.
