What Ship Creek Group does

Ship Creek Group is an Anchorage, Alaska-based political consulting firm founded in 2015 that operates as a one-stop-shop for candidate, ballot initiative, and advocacy campaigns. The company packages six integrated service modules — Compliance, Creative, Data, Fundraising, Project Management, and Marketing — delivered by specialist teams (Directors and Deputy Directors across each function) under generalist project managers. Its compliance practice specializes in Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) reporting, having filed 850+ reports, and its creative and marketing practices have delivered 220 direct mail flights and 250m+ digital impressions.

The firm sells its services through direct sales to campaign leadership, with the Managing Partner leading business development and a reputation-based go-to-market anchored in a 51-of-57 directly managed campaign win rate spanning Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Revenue derives from quote-based, scope-customized professional services engagements rather than disclosed pricing tiers or recurring contracts, with ~100 campaigns and advocacy projects served since inception across 6 state election cycles. No institutional funding or external ownership has been disclosed; the company is structured as a partnership with no subsidiaries, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond Alaska and the rural Mountain West. Notable public recognition includes coverage in Politico Magazine, Slate, and Anchorage Daily News, and awards from the American Marketing Association, PRSA, and AIGA.
