Akari and Company is a media network collaborating with churches and kingdom-builders in Japan to amplify the light of Christ through storytelling.

What We Do

We provide the best videographers, editors, and social media strategists in partnership with missionaries and kingdom-builders. We help capture their everyday stories and promote their work through world-class storytelling and marketing. We do all of this while charging nothing and requiring almost zero additional time from our partners.

Who We Serve

Our partners are people who are actively working on the mission front in Japan, either as tent makers or full-time missionaries. We want to amplify their efforts, preserve their time, and provide opportunities for sustainable support that keeps them on the mission front.

How We Work

The only thing we require from our partners is coordination. We need to know where we might find strong stories to amplify what they are doing. We are looking for simple, human moments, not a highlight reel. We are looking to bring supporters closer to the mission front by exposing the beauty of everyday efforts.

We provide videographers to capture trips, events, ministries, lifestyles. We edit content into long-form and short-form. We manage distribution and social media strategy.

We are building a sustainable and profitable media network that drives awareness, brings in new supporters, and grows engagement so that our partners can focus on the mission front and worry less about what to put in the monthly newsletter or when they'll have to return to the states to fundraise again.

Our Background

My name is Lex Avellino, and I have been running a creative technology studio for 10 years. In that time, my team has helped produce numerous events and experiential marketing campaigns for brands like Disney, Warner Brothers, and Marvel.

We've also raised over $15 million for creators and independent studios.

We know how to tell compelling stories that drive supporters to take action.
