Grant Johnston
Strategy & Partner

Strategic Thinker. Creative Problem Solver.

Grant distills complex ideas into powerful, clear messaging. Known for his calm and strategic approach, he gets to the heart of communications challenges, making him one of Alaska’s most sought-after marketing strategists.

Whether managing a statewide public outreach campaign, handling crisis communications, or launching a new brand, Grant is a steady hand, guiding clients with confidence.

With a bachelor’s degree in economics and marketing and an MBA from Hawaii Pacific University, Grant brings both analytical thinking and creative vision to every project.
