For over a decade, we’ve helped organizations tell stories that resonate, build brands that endure, and create relationships rooted in trust. Our work strikes a balance between strategic thinking, creative execution, and cultural intelligence. Effective marketing requires more than visibility; it involves understanding who you're speaking to and why it matters to them.
We’ve led marketing and communications across various sectors: nonprofits, healthcare, food service, conservation, and community-based organizations. What we’ve learned is this: people respond when your message reflects their reality, respects their intelligence, and offers something worth their attention.
That's what we bring to every project and every partnership.
Hi, we’re ark.
Connection is at the heart of everything we do.
Our approach
Effective marketing and communications require more than creative execution - they demand strategic insight shaped by data, cultural intelligence, and over a decade of experience working across sectors where trust and credibility aren't optional. We've built campaigns for nonprofits competing for donor attention, navigated crisis communications for healthcare organizations, and led community engagement with Indigenous populations and newcomer groups where authenticity isn't a buzzword - it's a prerequisite. Our approach combines rigorous analysis with human understanding, ensuring every strategy reflects both what the data reveals and what communities actually need.
Our work integrates four core elements: data and insight to identify what's working and what isn't; creativity and storytelling to give a brand's message resonance and reach; cultural fluency to communicate with authenticity across diverse audiences; and relationship building because no brand grows in isolation.
This is where strategy becomes meaningful; when the numbers inform the narrative, when creativity serves a clear purpose, and when every message respects its intended audience.
Where we’ve made an impact
We've worked with businesses and nonprofits to launch campaigns, build audiences, drive revenue, and strengthen community trust - particularly in contexts where representation and cultural intelligence aren't optional, they're foundational.
The work we’re most proud of includes:
Culturally rooted campaigns for Indigenous communities, Elders, and diverse cultural groups that honored protocol and centered community voices.
Strategic marketing initiatives that delivered measurable revenue growth and expanded organizational reach across multiple sectors.
Donor and corporate engagement strategies built on relationship development and shared values, turning one-time supporters into long-term partners.
Community-led programming that improved food access in Northern communities through authentic storytelling and reciprocal partnerships.
Brand development and messaging that helped organizations clarify their voice and communicate with audiences in ways that resonated rather than performed.
Every project has deepened our understanding of what it means to do this work with integrity, and every community we’ve served has shaped the strategists we are today.
This isn’t just a business.
It’s personal.
After years of helping organizations grow, Annica realized how many smaller businesses and nonprofits were struggling without strategic marketing support. They had heart. They had vision. They had impact.
What they lacked was the right strategy, or someone willing to invest the time to help them develop one.
That's why she built ARK Marketing & Communications.
Annica wanted to create a studio that operates collaboratively, works hands-on, and centers human connection - where clients become partners, not projects. Where strategy and creativity strengthen each other. Where culture and community shape the work from the beginning, not as an afterthought.
This is where every brand can make its mark.
ARK Marketing & Communications is led by Director Annica Ramkissoon, supported by a network of creative partners and specialists that expand as projects require.
