Welcome

Arctic Word provides innovative communication solutions for forward-thinking Alaskan organizations, businesses and candidates looking to contribute to a strong, sustainable Alaska.

We start from your target audience’s point of view and craft compelling communications to help you build productive relationships with the people essential to your success.

Whether it’s customers, contributors, voters or shareholders, when we say what you mean, they hear what you mean.

Issue/Candidate Campaigns

Effective language is essential to a winning campaign. Mistakes in language can sink a campaign with the weight of insurmountable public misconceptions, misgivings and misunderstandings, while the right message can build the broad-based support candidates need to win.

The issues facing the public are complex, but the language necessary to sell your solutions can’t be. Arctic Word crafts your message with compelling language to resonate with your target audience and set your campaign above the competition. Our strategic campaign plans help you deliver that message to the right people at the right time in the right way so that it resonates with and motivates your target voters.

Non-profit Solutions

We understand that not-for-profit does not mean not-for-results. If your organization demands big results from limited resources, then your message has to be clear and compelling.

Effective words cost no more to print, type or say than any others, but the right language delivered the right way has a much more productive impact on those who read and hear it. Arctic Word not only provides your organization with compelling messages that will resonate with your members, donors and other target audiences, but we also craft creative communications strategies to squeeze the most from your limited dollars.
