Government Communications: High Stakes, Real Impact

Government communications has its own set of demands. The stakes are high, the audiences are diverse, and the missions genuinely matter. Getting it right means understanding both the policy landscape and the people you’re trying to reach, whether that’s a congressional staffer, a small business owner, or a family making a healthcare decision. Akoya has been doing this work for 26 years, and we keep coming back to it because the impact is real. A well-crafted campaign can move the needle on a public health crisis, accelerate the adoption of a new technology, or change how millions of people engage with a federal program.

That impact shows up in the work. Our communications support for the Department of Health and Human Services helped add more than one million donors to the national organ donation registry. Work with the Department of Energy’s Solid-State Lighting program helped bring an entirely new lighting technology to market by building awareness and trust among consumers, industry, and policymakers alike. Across 26 years, we’ve partnered with agencies including DOE, NASA, the Federal Highway Administration, the Defense Health Agency, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, and the Food and Nutrition Service, among others. We’ve earned a reputation as a small firm that punches well above its weight, and that’s the reputation we intend to keep.
