The Annual AKT Awards 2023
AND THE WINNERS ARE…
Nothing says achievement like awards season but why should Hollywood get all the glory? Here at AKT we have plenty to shout about, especially when it comes to customer LOYALTY. And so, the Annual AKT Awards were created! As a company with humble beginnings we would have never believed we would be able to grow AKT to where we are today and that’s down to our supportive members of our cast who passionately champion AKT.
In order to celebrate our community we teamed up with leading sustainable brands, Ecologi, SBTRCT skincare, REWILD Wines and GRUBBY who were so kind to sponsor the awards and reward our winners with gorgeous goodies. Ecologi has even pledged to plant 100 trees per winner in AKT’s new, TRACKABLE FOREST. A huge thank you for your stellar contributions! Make sure you check out our exclusive offers from our sponsors for YOU too.
True to our origin story, Ed & Andy wanted to present the AKT Awards in style and returned to their roots by visiting the West End with the help of the company of Bonnie & Clyde. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your exquisite theatre, we couldn’t think of a better place to hold our ceremony. If you haven’t seen Bonnie and Clyde yet, it really is a must-see show and is sure to win plenty of awards of it’s own.
So without further ado, here are the nominations:
The Critic Award
The Critic Award highlights an exceptional wordsmith who shared their experience of AKT in a riveting review. We’ve received more reviews than we ever expected but there was one AKT review that STOLE THE SHOW…
This gifted reviewer has a real way with words and shared their story with flare and sincerity.
And the winner is... THOMAS PRICE
Thomas' acceptance speech is just as eloquent as his initial review:
The Stage Door Award
The Stage Door Award celebrates those who have celebrated us. A little ‘tit for tat’ if you will! The nominees were fiercely passionate but we have one clear winner.
This person has avidly liked and commented on every story on our socials and for that dedication we applaud you.
The winner is... NICKY TONKS
Nicky couldn’t be more gracious and had this to say:
The Creator Award
The Creator Award is dedicated to those who make remarkable content and shows off our deodorant in a way that looks as GOOD as it feels to use. With our community being so savvy on socials it was hard to narrow it down but our winner went the ends of the Earth…literally!
The winner is... NICOLA ALLEN
Nothing says cool like an iceberg and this Antarctic image is the proof. Here’s what Nicola had to say:
The Encore Award
The Encore Award gives a salute to our longest subscriber. We know our Cast Members are the most devoted in the business but you can’t beat the OG subscriber.
The winner is... DREW MILLAR
Drew is still a subscriber today and had this to say about his achievement:
The Standing Ovation Award
The Standing Ovation Award applauds one of our AKT-ers (see what we did there?!) who has made the most purchases. So many of you like to advocate for deodorant that does the work for you but there could only be one who took home the prize.
The winner is... MATT REID
Matt’s heartfelt acceptance speech made us melt:
The People's Choice Award
The People’s Choice is exactly what it says on the tin: The CHOICE of the people! You’ve been voting to get your favourite fragrance to the top spot and whilst it was a sprint to the finish we have our NUMBER ONE:
The winner is... SC.02 AFTER THUNDER
We know that every AKT scent bring something different to the stage but we couldn’t deny the love for AFTER THUNDER.
The question is: will it remain the champion at the next AKT awards?
That’s a wrap for the 2023 AKT Awards! Congratulations to you all and thank you to our AKT community who advocate for the UK natural deodorant that WORKS. In our eyes you’re all winners and we love to see the impact that AKT has on your everyday. So keep tagging us @akt_ldn and who knows, maybe you’ll be next year’s winner! That being said, we couldn’t leave you empty handed: our sponsors have kindly shared a few discount codes so you can all feel like a STAR.
