“Aries”
That’s my suggestion.
You can attach other words, like “Aries Arts” (according to google doesn’t exist yet, unlike “Aries Consulting”, “Aries Communications” and “Aries Electronics”).
I like the word “Arts” too because of the alliteration which, I think, causes words to react in ways that make their combinations, whether slogans or songs, more relevant.
Also starting each word with “a” assembles an awesome assonance attaining an (almost) always appealing attribute audio-wise, as well as achieving an attractive and affirming aesthetic, also assuring an already ascendant alphabetical advantage.
Also your achronym could be “A.A.” which would be funny. Especially when there are jokes about needing an “A.A.” meeting to get the campaign team straightened out. Or when staffers put “A.A” meetings in politicians schedules cause their candidates are drunk on their own self-importance.
There’s also the pop-cultural resonance of the “A-Team” - the wrongly accused (poor Mr. T) elite military unit who defied the US State’s authority and became soldiers-of-fortune traveling around America in a scobbydoo-like van fighting injustice with weapons made out stove pipe and pop cans and other stuff any wannabe-vigilante-kid could find in their own garage. Which is cool for so many reasons, the main one, for your purposes, being the catch phrase exclaimed every episode by George Peppard… “I like it when a plan comes together”.
Anyway.. the name could involve, “architecture” (like campaign structure, etc.) “advisory” or “advise”, “advertising”,”analysis”, “action” (or “adventure”..?), “answer(s)”, “apparatus”,”associates”, “authority” “achievement”,”alliance”, etc, etc,..
Words don’t have to start with “a” either.. the assonance could arise from vowels placed in other proximities too. The easily hollered “Oh Canada” for example. There are a lot of “a” words too, which why they are only worth one point in Scrabble.
So lots to work with. Regardless of all of that though, “Aries” I believe is where you need to start. And of all my suggestions ‘Arts’ is my favorite, or “Aries Arts and Crafts” which sounds way more soothing then anything to do with politics.
You could make stuffed wool ram dolls as your trademark product. You even could make them look like famous people (like a Mr. T with golden horns and a black sheep wool Mohawk).
Or, if you want to get a bit political you could fashion them to look like candidates. You could even sell them next to Melva at convention.
Who wouldn’t want a little Layton lamb toy ready to butt heads with any Tory goat-head?

Funny Hunny. That’s my suggestion.
