Who or what is Akela?

Akela Digital - Leader of the pack in digital marketing

Akela is the leader of the wolf pack from Rudyard Kipling’s classic The Jungle Book.

The jungle is a place where only the strong, smart and cunning survive.

In the jungle, as in business, there are competitors all around.

Success means knowing something others don’t. It means to always be growing. Always be learning.
