ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

AXW OPENS SATELLITE OFFICE IN DETROIT

I am thrilled to announce that AXW will be opening a new regional office in Detroit, Michigan effective April 23rd.

Detroit is an iconic yet resurgent city full of innovation, influence and most importantly: meaningful business opportunity for AXW. Longtime AXW executive and trusted member of my team, Andrew Taylor, will be relocating and leading our efforts to pursue new strategic growth opportunities and clients for the company. In addition, Andrew will be maintaining his current responsibilities including the management of several key clients in the AXW portfolio. I encourage you to connect with Andrew when thinking about strategic opportunities in the Detroit market.

 

RING ACQUIRED BY AMAZON

Amazon acquired video doorbell startup Ring, just the latest in a series of moves by the retail giant to dominate the fast-growing market for Internet-connected home devices. The deal gives Amazon a prominent home security company and, potentially, more tech firepower in its push to allow its delivery people to drop off packages inside buildings, where thieves can’t easily steal them. Amazon paid roughly $1.2 billion. AXW is proud to be an early investor and supporter of the Ring brand. Congratulations to Jamie Siminoff (Chief Inventor and Founder) and his outstanding team on this exciting accomplishment. (Read More)

GOOP

Launched in the fall of 2008 out of Gwyneth Paltrow’s kitchen as a homespun weekly newsletter, GP wanted a place to organize her unbiased travel recommendations, health-centric recipes, and shopping discoveries for friends, and she also wanted to get her own questions-about health, fitness, and the psyche-answered. It has always been a place for GP to introduce some of the incredible experts who have mentored her throughout her life, and a place where readers can find suggestions about where to shop, eat, and stay from a trusted friend-not from an anonymous, crowd-sourced recommendation engine.

FEATURED WORK

SENTIENT JET’S 2018 CARDHOLDER BENEFITS GUIDE

In its sixth year, the AXW-produced Sentient Jet Cardholder Benefits Guide continues to raise the bar in the industry’s member benefits with a dozen new partners and lifestyle offerings. The “private aviation version of the Neiman Marcus holiday catalog” is sent annually to Sentient’s 6,000 cardholders, and features the most exclusive offers to the finest hotels, vineyards and retailers across the nation. Since the guide’s debut, Sentient Jet has seen an increase in customer retention and brand loyalty, and the sales team leverages the program to close net new Cardholders as well.

 

THE GENESIS AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

As it finds its place in the luxury automotive space, Genesis needed to boost awareness, increase new client acquisition, and properly position the brand. In that the target audience values peer opinion more than any one brand, the AXW-led Ambassador program accomplished these goals. Each Axcess-selected ambassador was gifted a Genesis vehicle for one year to use as their everyday car. They also integrated the brand into their daily lives through events, social media, and partnerships with their own brands. While the program is still active, there have already been several vehicles purchased, new leads tracked, and Genesis has already gained meaningful brand exposure as the ambassadors organically promote the vehicle to their influential networks.

 

 

EXCLUSIVE AXCESS

 

PATH CONTENT GROUP

Legendary entrepreneur Lewis Wolff and his professional production team put together histories that rival polished documentaries, as seen on CNN and the History Channel. Since Lewis’s first autobiographical project, the team at Path has interviewed a new client every couple of months-from architects to restauranteurs, bankers to grandmothers. After the interviews and roughly 30 days of intense production, they present the first cut to the client, delivered in a handmade oak box within 60 days of the interview shoot. This is an incredible product–crafted by a small village of production artisans that are the absolute best in their field-and it is head and shoulders above any legacy video we’ve seen.Please visit www.pathcontentgroup.com to learn more and call AXW for information on an exclusive offer.
