Ship Creek Group LLC

“SCG recognizes the need for political and commercial communications services that are fast, flexible, and local. Our mission is to help you shoot the gap between in-house work that wastes your time and large agencies that consider your projects secondary income.” Ship Creek Group was founded in 2015 by political strategist John-Henry Heckendorn and photographer/director Joshua Corbett to provide political and commercial communications services that set the local standard for professionalism, innovation, and efficiency. Commercially, SCG has provided dynamic branding, modern digital design, and award-winning visual content for Alaska small businesses, non-profits, and advocacy efforts. In 2016, Heckendorn's brainchild business model of combining day-to-day management, strategic planning, and top-quality comms across multiple campaigns helped dramatically change the face of Alaska politics. Of the political campaigns SCG has directly managed: our team has won one statewide ballot initiative, six of six Anchorage municipal races, eight-of-eight state legislative races, and contributed a la carte services to over 30 campaigns. At the year's end, SCG was recognized as the top political consulting firm in Alaska in 2016 by the MidnightSun political blog. And those services are increasingly in demand in the private sector as well. At the end of 2018, Ship Creek Group re-launched with a few new faces: Managing Partner Allie Banwell and Operations Manager Jenny-Marie Stryker. They join John-Henry, Paula, and Josh to continue to forward leaders, organizations, and ideas that raise the bar in our community. Known for our bold creative communications and innovative strategic visioning, SCG continues to break the mold and elevate our clients beyond the status quo. Whether you want to run for office, build a coalition around a piece of legislation, launch a new business, rebrand your non-profit, or bring attention to a good idea: we’ve got the team to put the plan in place!
