Hi, I'm Akvile DeFazio — but most call me Ak.
As someone who lives for connecting people, from pairing consumers with brands to introducing friends who've gone on to get married (four couples and counting!), it's what I do best.
That same passion drives my work as the President of AKvertise, an award-winning social media advertising agency. As a four-time founder with nearly 20 years of experience scaling brands both in-house and through my agency, I also share my expertise as an international speaker and author, helping brands, freelancers, and agency owners grow smarter. You can check out my full career journey on LinkedIn.

What Clients Say About My Work
Hear from teams and leaders who've used these strategies to scale profitably.
“We hired Akvile for her thought leadership and impressive knowledge of various systems. It's been great to both entrust her with fully handling our campaigns and to work collaboratively on challenging, high energy projects. Both have provided strong results and a clear ROI.”
“Akvile did a great job helping audit our social media advertising efforts at Postmates, then rolled up her sleeves and helped re-set and manage our retargeting programs on an interim basis. She is super skilled at research and targeting strategies. I'd work with her again any day.”
“Akvile has been a valuable asset to our company's continued growth in paid media. She's a pleasure to work with and her insights have helped shape our strategies. The results speak to her expertise!”
