Our founder Chris Jahnke can help you prepare for a big speech and all the demands of politicking in a digital media world where everything you say and do can go viral instantly.
We start by assessing the candidate’s readiness. Do you have communications support staff in place? What about the stump speech? Do you have a fundraising message? Is your wardrobe camera ready? Are you comfortable in front of the camera?
Then we will help you pull it all together so you can talk to voters, supporters, stakeholders, and the news media.
