Campaign Strategy
Winning campaigns is what we do, by staying focused on strategies and cutting-edge technology. We are constantly searching for new innovations in campaigning - or inventing our own - and refining our best practices and tactics to ensure our clients have the greatest chance of success.
We will work with your team to:
● Develop the overall strategy for the campaign
● Create step-by-step tactics to achieve victory
● Use data to drive towards the win

Targeting
How did a first-term Senator from Chicago win the White House? Advanced targeting of voters that shared his passion.
We combine two proprietary methodologies:
First, we have a proprietary step-by-step targeting plan. We call this approach Senseographics because we leverage your understanding, or sense, of your constituency's demographics and lifestyle. We help you translate your knowledge into a concrete plan to find and win the number of votes you need.
Second, for political parties or larger clients, we have a proprietary data model that uses advanced statistical methodology to predict the behaviour of every voter at the outset of the campaign and interpret their responses as the campaign progresses. This model accepts real-time data being generated from call centres and your volunteer canvass to make accurate predictions about the results on Election Day.
We will work with your team to:
● Identify the number of votes needed to win and build a plan for achieving that number
● Understand voters on their terms
● Target the voters who are most open to your message
● Chart the data needed to win
Your time and your team's time and resources are valuable and finite. Target appropriate messages to the right people to increase your chances of winning.
