Meraki Communications Group, an Alexandria, VA-based marketing and communications agency, launches Aletheia, an approach that helps organizations choose the best marketing and communications services. The name stems from the ancient Greek goddess Aletheia, who embodies the spirit of truth and sincerity. Aletheia responds to the challenges many mission-driven organizations face: shifting funding models, evolving stakeholder expectations, and a rapidly changing communications landscape. It spans all of Meraki’s core service areas—from visual design and branding to crisis planning, community outreach, and public relations—to provide a data-informed framework for assessing an organization’s needs and recommending the right mix of services for each challenge. “Meraki’s campaigns and branding work have been tapping into the spirit of Aletheia since the beginning, but we’ve now sharpened it into a more focused, strategic approach,” said Meraki Communications Group's Morgan Dye.
