The data to plan it. The team to run it.
Win numbers, compliance, advertising, yard signs and more, all from one firm. We work with campaigns at the local, state and federal level, and with labor unions, PACs, nonprofits and ballot initiatives across the region.
Services
We help you run it, report it and get it seen.
Strategy
Hands-on campaign management or strategic advice, scaled to the race and the budget.
Filings
Campaign finance rules are unforgiving. We keep your committee filed, accurate and on time.
Media
Paid media that reaches the voters you need, with the creative to back it up.
Advocacy
We help private, nonprofit and union organizations set advocacy goals and pursue them before local governments and regulators.
Data analysis
We use historic election data to work out how many votes your campaign needs to win. From there, we build the budget and the plan to get there.
Example: 20 years of Wilmington City Council results
Votes for the last-place winner in each election, with the range from lowest to highest winner. Before the 2025 election, we projected the win number. Here's how it compared.
| Year | Lowest winner | Median winner | Highest winner |
|---|
Sample: building the plan
Once we know the win number, we sort the electorate so your budget goes where it moves the most votes.
All charts on this page are examples for illustration. Every campaign gets its own analysis.
Compliance
We handle your committee's reporting from start to finish, so you can focus on the campaign and not the paperwork.
What we track
Advertising
We use precise voter data to put your ads in front of the people you need to reach, not people who won't vote or would never vote for you. Every dollar works harder when it reaches the right voter.
Targeting
We build your audiences from voter data, so your message goes to likely voters you can actually win over.
Creative
We work with top professionals to produce ads that look sharp and say the right thing.
Placement
We place your ads on the channels your voters use, on the schedule that matters.
Channels we run through our trusted vendor partners
Yard signs
Once your signs are ordered, we take it from there. We know the region's best sign locations, and we cover the whole run from early voting through Election Day.
Step 1
We put your signs on their stakes and get them ready to go out.
Step 2
We put signs in public rights-of-way at high-visibility spots, following state and local placement rules.
Step 3
We set signs out at early voting sites and Election Day polling places.
Step 4
When the election is over, we collect your signs so you don't have to.
