Strategic Communications That Drive Impact
Airlines for America (A4A), formerly known as Air Transport Association of America, partnered with us to strengthen their advocacy through a content strategy that highlights their role in driving the nation’s economy and supporting the U.S. airline network. Our approach blended storytelling, audience engagement, and strategic media placement to maximize impact.
Our team produced original storytelling content featuring travelers, airline crew, and business leaders, capturing authentic experiences to bring A4A’s impact to life.
Alongside content creation, we managed campaign strategy, audience targeting, and media placement, ensuring that every message reached the right audience and delivered measurable engagement.
Transforming Complex Policy
Into Engaging Advocacy
FedEx Public Affairs engaged Gigawatt Group to translate complex policy topics, including corporate tax reform, 33-foot trailer legislation, Open Skies agreements, and pilot fatigue science, into visually compelling content. Our work made these issues clear, actionable, and engaging for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and internal teams.
We produced a suite of animated and static infographics, videos, and social content that supported multi-platform campaigns.
These assets reinforced FedEx as a credible, trusted voice in transportation and economic policy and became the foundation for targeted advocacy efforts across digital and traditional channels.
Break Through the Noise & Drive Civic Engagement
Issue One Action partnered with Gigawatt Group to launch a digital advocacy campaign aimed at bridging America’s political divides. We captured live moments at their inaugural event in Philadelphia, featuring 200+ former members of Congress, Cabinet officials, and Governors—the largest bipartisan coalition of its kind.
From this single event, we developed a suite of video assets and multi-platform content tailored to different audiences. Each piece was optimized to maximize engagement, awareness, and measurable advocacy impact for both policymakers and the broader civic community.
