What I do
Services
Every engagement is built around your race, your audience, and the platforms where your voters actually are.
01
Digital communications strategy
Platform-specific strategy for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — built around your race, your district, and the voters you need to reach. Not a generic playbook. A real strategy for your campaign.
02
Candidate messaging and brand identity
A coherent political identity — core messaging, talking points, tone, and narrative framing that holds across every platform and every event.
03
Content strategy and development
Platform-native content concepts tailored to your race and audience — developed collaboratively and refined in real time as your campaign evolves.
04
Interview and media preparation
Prep for earned media, press appearances, and on-camera moments — from someone who has sat across from candidates in 60+ on-record interviews.
