AKASO Broadens Its Philippines Reach Through Exclusive Distribution
Global action camera brand AKASO is accelerating its presence in the Philippines by naming Siklab Spark Corporation as its exclusive local distributor. The partnership, announced at a private event in Manila on October 15, marks a deliberate move to position AKASO as the go-to choice for Filipino adventurers, content creators, and hobbyists seeking affordable yet high-quality action cameras. With a robust global footprint spanning more than 200 countries and over 7 million units sold, AKASO aims to leverage local enthusiasm for travel, sports, and storytelling.
The AKASO 360: A First Look at the Philippines Launch
Leading the brand’s Philippine re-entry is the AKASO 360, a 360-degree storytelling device touted for its dual-lens panorama, 5.7K video, and 72MP 360 photos. The device also includes practical features like a bright 2.29-inch touchscreen, weatherproofing, and a suite of advanced tools — DNG8 RAW mode, stereo mics with wind-noise reduction, built-in stabilization, AI subject tracking, and horizon leveling. These capabilities are designed to appeal to creators who want cinematic quality without a steep learning curve.
Integrated Workflow for Quick Content Creation
AKASO’s ecosystem is designed to speed up the content creation process. The AKASO 360 app and Studio software streamline editing and sharing, enabling creators to move from capture to publish with minimal friction. A range of mounting options—from helmets to tripods—expands the camera’s use across activities such as biking, hiking, travel vlogs, and adventure sports, aligning with the Philippines’ vibrant outdoor culture.
Strategic Objectives Behind the Siklab Spark Partnership
The collaboration with Siklab Spark Corporation is a milestone in AKASO’s local strategy, aimed at nationwide availability and heightened visibility. Siklab Spark brings distribution expertise, channel partnerships, and a strong foothold in online and brick-and-mortar retail to accelerate AKASO’s reach among Filipino creators. The initiative complements AKASO’s goal of empowering hobbyists and professionals alike to document life’s moments with accessible, capable gear.
Promotions, Community Engagement, and Brand Building
To celebrate the Philippine debut, AKASO has rolled out exclusive promotions and giveaways through October 21. The AKASO 360 Standard Bundle is advertised at a discounted online price of P13,988, with further reductions available via platform vouchers: as low as P12,288 on TikTok Shop, P11,888 on Shopee, and P12,188 on Lazada. Other popular models, including the AKASO V50 X and EK7000, are also discounted across major platforms. A giveaway of three EK7000 units (worth P4,988 each) invites followers to participate across the brand’s social media channels, with winners announced on October 21.
Partnerships That Extend Reach
In tandem with Siklab Spark, AKASO has teamed with VOCCA Marketing to broaden its reach in the Philippine market. This collaboration enables more cost-efficient video gear access for Filipino creators and hobbyists, reinforcing AKASO’s commitment to community-building and accessible storytelling. The brand encourages local creators to join the AKASO community online, supporting a culture of exploration, sharing, and personal storytelling.
Why AKASO Believes in the Philippines
AKASO’s philosophy, captured in its “Let Life Run” mantra, centers on empowering users to capture spontaneous, authentic moments. The Philippines, with its dynamic travel routes, scenic landscapes, and a thriving creator landscape, presents an ideal environment for AKASO’s value proposition: quality, performance, and affordability. By aligning with Siklab Spark and tapping into regional consumer behavior, AKASO aims to become a trusted partner for action cameras in a market that prizes versatility, durability, and user-friendly features.
Looking Ahead
As AKASO embeds itself further into the Philippine market, the company is expected to roll out additional models and regional activations that celebrate local adventure and content creation. The combination of the AKASO 360, strong distributor support, and a growing community of creators could redefine the action camera landscape in the Philippines and inspire more people to capture life’s moments with confidence and creativity.
