Thompson & Co. Public Relations

06/11/2026

Tourism season is underway in Alaska, and we're helping clients prepare for a successful summer by updating and strengthening their crisis communications plans. While we hope they're never needed, preparing ahead of time can make all the difference when unexpected situations arise. That’s why we work with clients to strengthen and refine their crisis communications plans. That includes:

👉 Knowing who your crisis team is, and running that team through a crisis response drill annually, at minimum. Practice makes perfect.
👉 Preparing draft messaging – called holding statements – in advance for common industry crises.
👉 Updating contact lists and spokesperson information for key entities and partners, so the information is always at your fingertips — even if the internet is down.
👉 Compiling a plan and process to actively monitor media and social channels to quickly identify and correct misinformation.

Anticipating a crisis and having a plan in place can make all the difference. We’re always keeping an eye out for ways to prepare our clients for any communication situation!

If you need help preparing your crisis plan, reach out to our team: thompsonpr.com/contact.

A crisis communications plan is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a critical part of protecting your organization’s reputation, maintaining trust and ensuring teams are prepared when challenges arise.

At Thompson & Co., we help organizations prepare before a crisis happens through strategic planning, media training, messaging development and real-time communications support. In today’s fast-moving landscape, proactive communication matters.

The strongest response starts long before the crisis itself. Visit www.thompsonpr.com to learn more.

At Thompson & Co., we know good communication goes beyond just the message. It’s about making sure people feel informed, included and connected.

Spanish translation services are one of the many ways we help clients reach broader audiences and communicate more effectively. Hear from Account Coordinator Gustavo as he translates a few common PR terms en español. 👇

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Thompson & Co! 🩵

One of the benefits we’re most proud of at T&C is our parental leave policy. All new parents receive eight weeks of paid family leave, along with the flexibility to bring their babies to the office during their first six months. Family first will always be one of our most important agency values, and we’re proud to show it through our workplace culture.

To our T&C moms: We hope you’re having a day full of pampering by our future agency interns. 😉 Thank you for all that you do!

At Thompson & Co., no two days look the same and that’s exactly how we like it. 💪

We’re growing and looking for an account executive to join our Anchorage team. This is a mid-level role for a project leader who's ready to jump in, think creatively and strategically, and make things happen---whether that's generating press releases, coordinating major events, developing content to shape public perception, building media relationships, or hopping on a plane for a photo shoot in rural Alaska.

We’re a tight-knit team that values collaboration, strong writing and a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to great work. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, contribute, and be part of Alaska's largest PR agency, we’d love to hear from you.

📍 Anchorage-based
✨ Agency experience and/or public affairs background is a plus
