Political Campaigns

Craciun Research is one of the premier political polling and strategy firms in the Northwest. In our more than 30 year history, we have helped elect over 30 heads of government. We have shaped campaigns and political agendas throughout Alaska and the Northwest.

From assisting Mark Begich in winning the US Senate seat to helping Sarah Palin navigate her meteoric rise in national politics.  At Craciun Research we know that every successful campaign has the same strategic elements: the ability to deliver the right message to the right voters in the right way.
           
Craciun Research works with clients on all aspects of their campaigns, whether the task at hand governing statewide or nationally or winning a critical local referendum. Craciun Research can help you:

  • Monitor the public’s perceptions of your candidate or issue
  • Identify emerging problems and opportunities early
  • Prioritize and refine policy initiatives
  • Develop new issues
  • Craft an effective messaging framework
  • Develop successful responses to opposition attacks
  • Create ads that work seamlessly with your message and cut through the noise

Elections are about understanding voter moods and sentiments and how the issues of the day resonate with the political landscape.  One of Craciun’s differentiators is our ability to target voters in the most sophisticated possible way.

We study the results of prior elections and give our clients the best demographic data available on voter turnout. Our market segmentation techniques combined with our extensive database of voter behavior allows us to know where and who to target for a successful election outcome.
Craciun Research offers a full set of political services, ranging from issue advocacy to message development to campaign strategy. 

Our innovative and successful political work led the Anchorage Daily News to feature Jean Craciun in an article “How the Race was Run and Won.”  - and dubbed Ms. Craciun as one of the most innovative market researchers and political strategists in Alaska.

Please contact us to consult about your issue, ballot initiative or campaign and find out how you can put together a winning strategy for success.

 



Client Testimonials

I have had the opportunity to work with Ms. Craciun many times, most recently on my campaign for United States Senator in 2008. It was a good experience which brought together not only the best from Alaska but from Washington DC as well. Ms. Craciun was always a team player and worked with us in the qualitative research area assisting with campaign focus groups to direct strategy toward message development and media buys. Jean Craciun is a well respected pollster in Alaska.
