Why Government Contractors Choose Ocean 5
Ocean 5 Strategies understands the unique challenges of marketing in the federal space. Government buyers make decisions differently from commercial buyers, requiring websites that:
- Build trust through credibility markers and proven past performance
- Clearly articulate how solutions address specific agency challenges
- Demonstrate compliance, security, and regulatory expertise
- Provide easy access to contract vehicles, capabilities statements, and past performance data
- Support the entire buyer’s journey from awareness to procurement
“Federal buyers buy from people and companies they know, like, and trust. A-TEK’s website now effectively communicates their deep understanding of federal missions, demonstrates how their solutions solve agency challenges, and reinforces their position as a trusted technology partner,” said Kris Brinker, Managing Partner at Ocean 5 Strategies.
The A-TEK Digital Transformation
A-TEK, Inc. is a trusted technology partner to U.S. federal agencies, providing high-end IT services, digital solutions, and scientific staffing capabilities for over three decades. Their clients include the Department of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services (NIH, FDA, CMS), Department of Commerce, and Department of Justice.
The website redesign project focused on three critical objectives:
- Clear Value Proposition: Articulating A-TEK’s comprehensive capabilities across cloud modernization, cybersecurity, agile engineering, and data intelligence
- Federal Buyer Experience: Creating an intuitive user journey that helps government decision-makers quickly understand how A-TEK’s solutions address their mission-critical needs
- Brand Differentiation: Positioning A-TEK as more than a contractor—as a true mission partner with domain expertise across federal civilian, health, and national security sectors
The new website clearly articulates A-TEK’s three decades of experience supporting federal agencies and positions them as the mission-focused technology partner they are. The recognition from both dotCOMM and MarCom validates the strategic approach Ocean 5 brought to this project.
Growth-Driven Design Delivers Results
Ocean 5 Strategies utilized its proprietary SWIM® methodology (Strategy With Implementation and Measurement®), combined with Growth-Driven Design principles, to create a website that serves as a powerful lead generation platform. Rather than a traditional “set it and forget it” approach, the A-TEK website was built to evolve based on real visitor data and user behavior.
The strategic approach included:
- Messaging Workshops: Deep collaboration with A-TEK’s leadership to define their unique value proposition and competitive differentiators
- Federal Buyer Research: Understanding the information needs and decision-making criteria of government procurement professionals
- Performance Optimization: Building a fast, secure, mobile-responsive platform that meets government accessibility standards
- Content Strategy: Developing clear, benefit-focused messaging that demonstrates A-TEK’s 30-year track record of mission success
