The Barber Group: Providing strategic communications that stimulate conversations and thus strengthen communities.
  • Growing Philanthropy in Alaska

    alaskacforg Alaska’s size and diversity means nearly any statewide program can be difficult to target. The Alaska Community Foundation’s Web site is designed to provide a central place for philanthropy. We targeted donors and created several layers of information, secure online giving and information about grants and scholarships, all with an Alaskan flair.

  • A Little Bragging

    athena Satisfied clients are important. When choosing a consultant you need someone with known successes so I figured I’d brag a little about mine: member of the Athena Society, College of Fellows in the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). Named: Communicator of the Year for the Alaska Chapter of PRSA. Winner: PRSA Silver Anvil award for marketing communications and more. Check out the full list.


  • Celebrating Community

    Nearly 100 different languages are spoken in Anchorage and the cultures are as varied as flowers in a garden. Creating a community-wide July 4th celebration became the gathering place for learning and understanding our cultural differences, similarities and the caring personality that is Anchorage.

  • Connections and Relationships

    To get things done, you need the right people around the table. Eighteen years of helping Alaskans and 30 years of building and maintaining relationships with communication professionals throughout the country create an unbreakable bond to accomplish goals.


  • Voices and Visuals

    Most of us enjoy a day unplugged from the barrage of messages. Today they’re coming from all sides and the successful communicator knows how to get through the clutter. Visual consistency and similar voices are just one of the tried and true approaches.
