Strategy & Innovation

Helping Hawaii Organizations Navigate What's Next.

aio Strategy & Innovation is a hui of specialists, Upspring, Library Creative, Eleven 17, and aio Marketing, that work as one team behind a shared way of thinking: understand the goal before proposing the solution.

Each company brings deep expertise in its own discipline, business and data consulting, brand and design strategy, storytelling and production, communications and community engagement, data strategy and responsible implementation of artificial intelligence. But clients don't hire a division. They bring us a goal, and we draw on the right combination of expertise to achieve it, coordinated through a single point of contact who assembles the right expertise at the right time, spanning our sister brand, aio Media, when the strategy calls for it. One relationship, the full breadth of expertise, delivered with the same care and the same commitment to Hawaii in every engagement.

Working closely with our sister media brands, we develop integrated strategies grounded in research and data that help our clients grow with purpose and impact spanning both physical and digital experiences.
