Clues (Read, in order, one and re-think the problem):

  1. Five letter word
  2. 'A' equals 011051
  3. Binary (Eight digit per)
  4. Compressed message (Zero - Show, One - Hide)
  5. ASCII Letters

If you have the answer:

Say the word = +1 for you

Say the word and with the same method say what 02301102103102 means = Best Answer

    $\begingroup$ Is this case sensitive? Do the codes for 'A' and 'a' differ? $\endgroup$

Aswer: Hello :D

This is simply the binary ASCII stream encoded as a 0 followed by the count of consecutive zeroes, then the count of consecutive ones, repeated for each group of zeroes and ones in the message.

Example:
Test
Is encoded in binary ASCII as:
01010100 01100101 01110011 01110100
This is split into groups of zeroes followed by ones:
01 01 01 00011 001 01 0111 0011 0111 01 00
Each group is then converted to a 0, followed by the number of zeroes, followed by the number of ones:
011 011 011 032 021 011 013 022 013 011 02
The result is concatenated to produce the final string:
01101101103202101101302201301102

The real magic word is of course 011011052012032021011012041013022012021011
