We empower government agencies through strategic communication that works.

Hi there, we are JPW.

We imagine a world where communities and local government understand each other and work together for the greater good.

And we work tirelessly to make that happen through memorable marketing, communication and outreach campaigns.

our work

We create an exceptional experience for each client by providing creative strategies to meet their agency’s specific needs.

We believe every situation is unique. That's why we approach our work with curiosity and creativity.
We were created by former in-house government communicators, so we know your world from the inside out. We do this work passionately because we know it makes a difference.
We invest deeply in our employees because we believe they are the heart and soul of our company. We also know this investment is reflected directly in the quality of our work.

Our clients inspire us. We’re proud to tell their stories.

Another year around the sun and strategy

Today marks another year around the sun for JPW. Traditionally ninth anniversaries are celebrated with gifts of pottery and wicker, which speaks to our hand-crafted-loving hearts. In our latest blog, we are reflecting on our agency and collective obsession with strategic planning -- two things that require effort, care and vision. We look forward to many more years of curating solutions for our clients and weaving the strategies that lead to their successes.

Happy anniversary, JPW!
