Tom Fletcher Presents: The Explorer & The Bear This is the very first song to be released to the public from the score of more than 18 brand-new original songs written for PADDINGTON The Musical by McFly's Tom Fletcher. AKA worked with ElliotFilms to shoot the official music video in multiple recording studio locations including Abbey Road, where Tom recorded both this song and others from the musical, as well as in the rehearsal room with the cast and company of the musical. In the show, Explorer & the Bear is sung by Paddington as he searches for the Explorer, who had once promised Aunt Lucy and Uncle Pastuzo that they would always find a home in London if ever they needed one. Check out the full edit here: https://lnkd.in/e3UiziiD   PADDINGTON The Musical starts performances at London's Savoy Theatre on 1 November, produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, STUDIOCANAL and Eliza Lumley Productions Ltd on behalf of Universal Music Group UK.

Stereophonic: Making Bright   As Stereophonic enters its final weeks in the West End, the teams at AKA UK & DMS have collaborated to create an extended look at this multi award-winning play.   The concept was driven by what audiences crave most: access. Inspired by landmark music documentaries, we wanted viewers to feel as though they’d quietly stepped into the studio with the band, witnessing something authentic, intimate and unrepeatable   Our teams delivered a suite of edits to be distributed across a range of storytelling platforms:   🎬 A 7-minute long-form cut for deeper engagement on YouTube. 📺 A broader, traditional 30” VoD spot. 📱 15” and 30” conversion focused social media edits highlighting drama, tension, and character.   Every decision, from the vérité-inspired shooting style to seventies-era colour grading, was about capturing the raw creative process and ensuring the footage felt timeless and compelling.   The result is content that brings audiences closer to the magic of this incredible production. https://lnkd.in/eUpDEQNx   Sonia Friedman Productions Wagner Johnson Productions Seaview Stacy Coyne Wright   AKA GROUP LIMITED AKA UK DMS 

🙌 NEW SEASON NEW SEASON NEW SEASON 🙌 AKA were thrilled to partner with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in creating a bold new season identity to mark the inaugural programme under their new Artistic Director, Joe Murphy. Our client wanted to lead with the strong programming and creative teams - a typographic animation that was bold, playful and uplifting, simple but confident. The result was a three-colour design that blended modern typography with the visual language of traditional theatre bill posters, reimagined through the creative repetition of words to inject movement and life. Alongside developing the new season identity, we also created the key art for the three Birmingham Rep productions directed by Joe Murphy: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Sweeney Todd, and Sweet Henry V. Public booking for the season opens this Friday! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUrfpKuu Bold, Bright and Brimming full of Brilliant programming 🤩 #birminghamrep #keyart #creative #AKAUK
