AKA Broker
Website and digital platform development for independent insurance brokerages
Overview
AKA Broker is a web development and digital platform provider for independent insurance brokerages in Canada. Operating as the insurance vertical of Toronto-based digital agency A.K.A. New Media Inc., the company has been building websites and online tools for the brokerage community for over a decade and is recognized as Canada largest web development supplier to the independent broker channel.
The company delivers custom, mobile-responsive websites built on the Apostrophe CMS platform, with integrations for online quoting, policy self-service, and customer engagement. Websites connect to broker management systems (BMS) to enable two-way data flows -- allowing form submissions on brokerage sites to trigger automated workflows in systems such as PowerBroker, AMS360, HawkSoft, and EZLynx. Hosting is provided on Canadian infrastructure with SSL, Cloudflare CDN, and security scanning via Qualys.
AKA Broker holds Official Affinity Partner status with both the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) and the Insurance Brokers Association of Alberta (IBAA), the two largest provincial broker associations in Canada. These designations position the company as the recommended web development supplier for thousands of independent brokerages across the country.
