Strategy from the Ground Up

Campaigns, Initiatives, and Civic Action Planning

Years of campaign design, grassroots organizing, and civic systems work shape our practice. We know what it takes to move from whiteboard to working model, building strategies that honor mission while navigating timelines, stakeholders, and public accountability.

We do not drop in with a prebuilt playbook. Instead, we work alongside teams through complexity, helping translate vision into action in ways that work on the ground, not just in theory.

What We Offer

We support strategic planning and implementation across a full range of campaign consulting, grassroots engagement, and civic action efforts, including:

  • Campaign Planning from Vision to Execution

    Turning goals into grounded, timeline-based strategies that move people and resources.

  • Field Team Structure and Staffing Guidance

    Creating roles, ladders, and systems that support leadership and scale.

  • Ballot Access Strategy and Compliance Troubleshooting

    Managing timelines, rules, and risk in ways that keep your campaign on track.

  • Voter Contact Systems and Data Workflows

    Setting up infrastructure that supports outreach and measures what matters.

  • Mobilization and Turnout Modeling

    Designing layered outreach strategies that deliver results under pressure.

  • Risk and Scenario Mapping for Live Campaign Environments

    Helping you adjust with clarity when the ground shifts.

Every engagement is tailored to the scale and goals of your work. Whether you are running a local campaign, supporting a statewide initiative, or scaling an issue-based movement, we meet you where you are, and help you move forward with clarity and momentum.

How We Work

We begin by listening. Context matters, and we do not arrive with boilerplate. We meet with your team, map assets and gaps, and co-develop a strategy that reflects your timeline, geography, and organizing culture.

Sometimes that looks like a focused planning sprint. Other times, it means embedded advising, helping troubleshoot field operations in real time. And sometimes, we step in at a pivotal moment: when the deadline is slipping, the maps need redrawing, or the team needs a reset.

In one recent engagement, a multiracial faith coalition was struggling to activate turnout in overlooked counties. We designed a layered outreach plan that combined voter file targeting with congregational relationships. Within six weeks, they recruited 100 new local leaders, held nine regional trainings, and exceeded early vote goals by double digits.

This is collaborative work. We help teams make decisions with confidence, and adapt when the field shifts.
