Lake Sunapee · Mount Sunapee · Four Seasons
Sunapee deserves communications that sound like Sunapee. This service delivers them — built around your voice, your departments, and your community — without a new hire or long-term contract.
With a population of around 3,400 and lean staffing across departments, Sunapee faces the same challenge every small NH town does — the communications work is real, the capacity is not. Notices go out in a hurry. The Highway Department sounds nothing like the Library. The Selectboard meeting notice is a date and a time with no context for residents.
Hiring a full-time communications person costs $55,000 to $75,000 a year before benefits. A PR retainer runs $3,000 to $6,000 a month. Neither fits Sunapee's budget — and neither comes with the institutional knowledge of a town that calls itself "Lake of the Wild Goose."
This service was built for exactly this situation. Sunapee's voice, Sunapee's departments, Sunapee's standards — running on a subscription your budget can actually support.
Your department heads fill out a form. They answer questions they already know the answers to. Professional communications come back — in real time for routine requests, within 2-3 business days for larger projects.
One hour. I learn your town — your voice, your departments, your political sensitivities, your calendar. Everything captured goes into your dedicated private workspace. That single meeting replaces every future meeting.
Built in the first week. A formal document defining exactly how your town communicates — tone, terminology, department names, what to avoid. Every piece of work is checked against it before it reaches you.
Your town gets a private communications app. Department heads pick the request type, fill in the facts, and get a finished on-brand communication in seconds. No writing. No AI knowledge. Just results.
Every deliverable includes the finished work and the full record of how it was built. Your workspace, your guidelines, your history. If you ever leave, it all transfers to you within five business days.
These are real Sunapee communication types — rewritten the way they would sound with brand and voice guidelines in place.
"Highway Department & Buildings and Grounds — Road Closure Notice. Main Street closed Tuesday for utility work. Use alternate routes."
"Heads up, Sunapee. Main Street will be closed on Tuesday, April 22 for utility work by the Highway Department. Please plan for alternate routes. Questions? Call (603) 763-2212."
"4th of July Events. Parade 12 PM. Band 5–7 PM. Fireworks 9 PM." — posted the morning of.

"Selectboard Meeting — Monday November 17 6:30–10:30 PM Town Office Meeting Room."
"The Selectboard meets Monday, November 17 at 6:30 PM at the Town Office. Key agenda items include the budget review and capital projects update. Public comment is welcome. Questions? Contact the Town Clerk at (603) 763-2449."
Each tool is configured for Sunapee — your department names, your voice, your contact numbers. The Highway Department & Buildings and Grounds, the Fire Department & Emergency Medical Services, Recreation, Library, Planning Board — all of it built in.
Every department sounds different and nobody has time to write things properly.
A private real-time app where any department head generates finished, on-brand communications in seconds — road closures, event announcements, meeting notices, alerts, and more.

These are the foundation tools. The live Communications Portal is below — try it now. No login required.
As a public entity, your residents can ask about how you use technology. Here is exactly how this works — no fine print.
Sunapee gets a dedicated private AI workspace. Your information is never shared across clients.
Your data is never used to train AI models — guaranteed under Anthropic's commercial terms, not a toggle that can accidentally be switched on.
All work is conducted exclusively using Claude by Anthropic — with seven-day data retention at the API level.
Sunapee is the named beneficiary of the workspace from day one. If you end the service, full credentials and all work history transfer to you within five business days.
Town staff do not have access to the workspace during the engagement. All requests come through the project board — a deliberate security posture.
"Your constituent data, your internal documents, and your communications drafts stay in your workspace and go nowhere else. When you leave, you take everything with you."
All requests come through the project board. Your time is not spent on calls. Neither is mine.
Billing runs on 30-day cycles. Whether you need to pause or cancel, simply provide 30 days written notice. If pausing, remaining days carry forward. If canceling, everything transfers to you within five business days.
Most towns are fully operational within 60 to 90 days. Core tools are live and delivering value within the first two weeks. Timeline depends on town complexity and department engagement.
Rush delivery, legal review of communications, or meetings beyond onboarding. Always consult town counsel on legal matters.
Your town is getting real work done while the infrastructure is being built in the background.
Onboarding meeting. Workspace configured. Brand and voice guidelines delivered and ready for your review.
Communications Portal live and tested with real department submissions. First one-off projects delivered. Value is immediate.

Timeline is an estimate. Actual timeline depends on town complexity and department engagement.
I am a senior marketing and GTM strategist with 20 years of experience in technology and business strategy, based in New Hampshire. I am also a daily practitioner of AI tools — not someone who learned about AI recently, but someone who has been building with it seriously for years.
I built this service specifically for small NH towns because the problem is real, the gap is significant, and the solution is now genuinely affordable. Sunapee is one of the first towns I am bringing this to — which means you get my full attention and a system built exactly to your needs.
I work with a small number of towns at a time. You are not handed off to junior staff. I already know Sunapee — the Harbor, the Riverwalk, the Selectboard meeting schedule, the Highway Department's full name. Your guidelines would be built from real Sunapee knowledge, not a generic template.
Senior operator who understands how organizations communicate — not a generalist VA with AI skills.
Using Claude and other AI tools seriously every day. The operator intelligence is what you are paying for.
Starting with NH towns because I understand the context, the scale, and the civic culture. Sunapee is one of the first — not a pilot, a priority.
I limit the number of active towns so every client gets the attention the work requires.
This demo was built specifically for Sunapee. The portal above already runs in your town's voice. One conversation to see if it makes sense to move forward — no commitment required.
