Big ideas, launched from Homer, Alaska.
We're a small, Alaska Native and woman-owned marketing studio. We launch new businesses, revamp websites, and design proposals for companies across the country, with branding, websites, print, and social media people actually notice.
We love launching businesses. Sitting down with a new idea, giving it a name and a look, building the website, printing the first rack cards, and being there when the doors open. Then we keep going with social media, ads, and updates so the momentum doesn't stop.
Opening day is our favorite day.
Businesses we've launched
Planning, branding, websites, print, and social, all from one small team that answers the phone.
hothouse
From the first consult to opening day. Business planning, marketing setup, website, brochures, flyers, and Porcupine Theatre ads. Now we run their social every day.
Cove & Co.
Yes, this one is ours. We launched the marketing for our own cafe on the Spit, from brand and website to menus, labels, and social.

Some we built from scratch for brand new businesses. Others we rebuilt from the ground up. Every one is made to look great, work on phones, and show up when people search.

Some projects travel a long way from the Spit. We design airport advertising proposals, displays that greet travelers in the terminal, and print pieces that visitors carry all over town.
RFP proposals for Fuse Advancement
Fuse runs advertising programs in airports across the West, and we partner with them on proposal design. We create custom covers, editorial layouts, and section dividers built around each city's story, so a stack of paperwork reads like a magazine.
- Burbank
- Albuquerque
- Palm Springs
Welcome displays at Palm Springs International Airport
We designed a series of displays that capture the spirit of Palm Springs, from mid-century architecture and the festival scene to Joshua Tree and the desert. Each one greets travelers with a witty welcome note. The airport staff loved them.
Visit Homer Guide
We wrote, edited, and art directed Homer’s official visitor guide, working with an illustrator to build a fresh look and a page template that carried the whole book. That template is still in use today, and the guide is the first thing many visitors pick up when they plan a trip to Homer.

Don't just take our word for it
A few notes from the people we work with.
"I started my business January 2023. Within a 4 day period during the start-up, Jorden created the business logo, built the website, completed a rack card design for printing and established a presence on multiple social media platforms. During the winter months, Jorden continued providing marketing services and business consulting. Revenue for the 2024 season increased 250% more than my initial 2023 season. Kachemak Communications is a major reason for the increase in revenue."
Jorden is simply the best social media person I have ever worked with. She has taken our Homer Chamber of Commerce pages to levels I never thought possible.
I just wanted to tell you how much everyone at our office appreciates all the wonderful work you are doing for us on social media… thank you for making us look so good!
Jorden and her team do an excellent job with social media management, videography and content editing.
I hired Kachemak Communications to take drone photos and video of a property I have listed for sale. They were quick to get the job done and did outstanding work. I will use them again for sure!

Questions we hear a lot
Don't see yours? Send us a note and we'll get back to you within two business days.
Do you only work with Homer businesses?
Most of our clients are in Homer and on the Kenai Peninsula, but we work all over Alaska and with companies in the Lower 48 too.
Can you help before I open?
That's our favorite time to start. We can help with planning, branding, your website, print, and social media before your first day, so you open with everything ready.
Can you fix my existing website?
Yes. We revamp websites all the time, from a fresh design to a full rebuild with new copy and photos, and we make sure it shows up on Google when we're done.
What platform do you build websites on?
Usually Squarespace, because it's easy for owners to update on their own. We also build on Webflow when it's a better fit.
Do you offer ongoing marketing after launch?
Yes. Many of our clients keep us on for monthly social media, website updates, print, and ads, so their marketing keeps going while they run the business.
