Our take

Axios HQ, originally the software division of the news company, Axios, became an independent entity following Axios's acquisition by Cox Enterprise in 2022. The company offer a platform that applies Axios's "Smart Brevity" writing style to enhance internal communications for organizations. Features include writing templates, machine learning-driven style and phrasing suggestions, and analytics to track engagement.

In December 2024, Axios HQ expanded its capabilities by acquiring Mixing Board,a community of communications, brand, and marketing leaders. This acquisition was an exciting move for the company and aims to enhance Axios HQ's offerings and strengthen its position in the communications industry.
