Welcome to RKUK Media. This is currently the Archive page of the website, whilst we finalise what’s next for the website going forward called BEHANN.
As you may, or may not, be aware, RKUK Media has been online for well over 15 years as a brand, certainly under the RKUK mantra, and has provided content online throughout this time, some, for which, made even before its online launch.
In recent years, the placement of RKUK Media, online, has begun increasingly in doubt, both in terms of viability, and, purpose. Whilst the brand has experienced great heights, reaching over 10 million site viewing activity within its peak year, this has certainly fettled down so. It’s clear as to why this is the case; the website currently lacks clear direction, has months of emptiness and has no future without investment for which opportunities have not allowed.
The next step…
The clear next step was either to completely revamp the RKUK Media website, something that’s been done before, leaving behind all the legacy elements holding it back, or, starting from scratch and anew. This is the direction that’s been decided. So, by June 2024, the RKUK Media website, rkukmedia.co.uk will cease to exist, as it undergoes a complete replacement to the new BEHANN service.
Archive content, such as the original Tech posts, even Ben’s blogs from prior to March 2022, will all be available on a new archive website operated freely under the WordPress site. This website will service exclusively as an Archive website, offering no new purpose and will not face any updates following its initial launches.
Whilst it’s sad for me to see, and, give up on, such an iconic brand and part of my life, I understand what’s more important is moving on to the next best thing, and it’s been decided that, for me, that will be BEHANN.
BEHANN certainly will not be what anyone who fondly viewed RKUK Media will likely gravitate to, but, at the same time, that’s the point. RKUK Media lost its way, and viability, a long time ago, and, as a company, just wasn’t quick enough to evolve and adapt.
The next, and, most important, chapter of my life is under BEHANN, which is a mixture of myself, Ben, and my partner, Hannah. This will be a lifestyle, and, personal website, as apposed to RKUK Media, which was very much business first. I don’t want BEHANN to have the peak popularity RKUK Media had, that would terrify me, but, it is what makes me happy, as my Hannah does.
RKUK Media’s main website, and, all socials, will close by June 2024, and, if I see you next on BEHANN, I’d be happy to welcome you there, if not, I’m happy you’ve enjoyed what RKUK Media has brought to the Internet since it’s 2005 launch.
Thank you
Ben, RKUK Media Founder / CEO
