Services
Most campaigns skip straight to tactics; mail, digital, events --without a real structure underneath. Campaign Architecture & Strategy is where we slow down just enough to build that structure: positioning, path-to-victory, message spine, and the roles your tools and team actually play.
The result isn’t a pretty PDF that no one reads. It’s a working blueprint your staff, consultants, and volunteers can use every week.
Clear positioning in your race, core themes, and a message spine that ties together mail, digital, phones, and field.
A realistic path-to-victory based on district realities, not wishful thinking; who you need, where they are, and how you reach them.
A simple blueprint that connects strategy to execution: what tools you need, what data matters, and who owns what on the team.
We review your race, district, polling (if you have it), and any existing plans or vendor work. Then we ask a lot of blunt questions.
We run structured working sessions with you and key staff to nail positioning, coalition priorities, and what “winning” actually means.
We build your campaign architecture: path-to-victory model, message spine, and an operational outline for tools and teams.
We walk you through the framework, make any adjustments, and leave you with a clear document and next-step recommendations.
You’re a serious, right-of-center candidate, PAC, or advocacy group—not a vanity campaign.
You want a clear plan before you throw more money at vendors or ads.
Your team is coachable and willing to follow a framework.
You’re open to tightening your message and saying “no” to distractions.
You want a one-off tactic (a single mail piece, a logo, or a website) with no bigger plan.
You’re looking for a magic trick instead of real discipline.
You’re not willing to make decisions or narrow your focus.
You expect us to rubber-stamp what you’re already doing.
Your whole team can describe your positioning and core message in the same sentence.
You know exactly which voter universes matter—and which don’t.
You have a calendar and plan that connect mail, digital, field, and fundraising instead of treating them as separate worlds.
You can say “no” to ideas that don’t fit your path-to-victory, without guessing.
You have a clear ask when you talk to donors, activists, and coalition partners.
The earlier, the better. We’ve done architecture as early as “I’m thinking about running” and as late as mid-cycle. The big rule: do it before you sink serious money into media and staff.
Yes. We’re happy to plug in alongside existing partners. In those cases, we focus on structure and integration, not stepping on anyone’s toes.
No. Some campaigns move into an ongoing engagement with us, others take the framework and run. Architecture is a standalone service.
