POLITICAL CONSULTANT
IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
IT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN
That's been the mantra of every campaign with which I've been involved.
It's not enough to knock doors, make calls, send lit and host events. You need to connect with your voters, day in and day out, throughout the life of your campaign.
Are your emails telling your campaign's story, or are they just asking for money? Are your Facebook posts and ads getting seen? Are they getting seen by the right audience? Does your campaign have drive, passion and purpose online? Is it building momentum towards election day?
I can help you answer these questions, and so many more you haven't yet thought to ask.
Let's get your volunteers, voters and constituents involved in telling your story.
Let's grow your reach, engagement and contributions.
Let's find, hone and tell your story online, everyday.
Let's grow and engage your base.
Let's win this thing!

What people have said about working with me
"Josh served as Digital Director on my campaign for Governor of Rhode Island. Josh was an MVP throughout the campaign -- extremely responsive, adaptable, visionary, and helpful. In a high-stress environment, he worked well with everyone and always met tight timelines. He was also extremely professional in working with the public, and he is an asset to any organization or movement seeking a highly competent, reliable, and driven digital leader. "

"Josh's social media expertise helped tremendously throughout my campaign seeking election to municipal government. This successful campaign was my first introduction to elections and organizing a campaign, and at a local municipal level, much of the organizing falls on the shoulders of the candidate. As such, having the ability to access folks like Josh, who are able to provide clear guidance, support and troubleshooting was invaluable.
Although working for municipal campaigns in a Canadian context was new for Josh, he went above and beyond to back my campaign. Josh has expertise working on political campaigns for women, which was a great asset. He helped me build advertising campaigns that were concise and targeted. His guidance around messaging has continued to help me throughout my social media channels as a City Councillor. All of the consultation I received was through Skype, which worked very well. Josh was able to walk me through any questions I had as we could display our screens. In addition, Josh was efficient in his coaching and was able to provide a lot of information in a short period of time. I felt that my time was valued and the information I received was thoughtful and never rushed. I highly recommend Josh [and his team] to help elevate your campaign. Josh worked specifically with me on Facebook, Twitter and NationBuilder. Regardless of the platform being used, I am confident that Josh would be a great fit to back your campaign team."
