Manufacturing · Case study

Helping a manufacturer show the full value of what it makes.

Akin already had products worth specifying. Matmon helped make their quality, purpose, and possibilities easier for the right people to see.

Who they serve
Senior living owners and operators, hospitality groups, interior designers, architects, and the dealers who specify for them.
Who they are

Akin manufactures complete hospitality and senior living furniture from production facilities in southern Arkansas.

The opportunity

A broad, configurable product line is hard to show. Line drawings, finish options, and fabric choices ask a specifier to imagine the result instead of seeing it — and imagination is where specifications get lost.

What Matmon recognized

The gap was not product quality. It was product presentation: too few images per product, too little context about where a piece belongs, and no easy path from a catalog page to a real conversation.

What we created and improved

  • Product renderings and room scenes developed from line drawings, finish options, and product references
  • Finish and fabric variations produced without a new photo shoot for every combination
  • Lifestyle and application imagery that shows pieces in senior living and hospitality settings
  • Improved product presentation across the catalog and website
  • Senior living market research and audience development for designers, owners, and operators
  • Email campaigns and clearer paths to product information, catalogs, and consultation

How the work reached its audience

Work was aimed at the people who actually specify: designers and architects, senior living owners and operators, and the dealer network around them.
