Democracy Partners:
Creative Strategies ...
We believe to win the battle we have to combine the most recent campaign and communications technology with old-fashioned nuts-and-bolts organizing.
Relentless Advocacy ...
We believe that if the path to victory is not obvious - our job is to find it. Persistence, discipline, intensity, focus, staying the offensive, forcing the opponent to play on our turf, conducting the debate in our message frame, no excuses, no whining.
Powerful Messaging ...
We believe that our messages won’t matter if they don’t break through the clutter. We tell stories, create narratives, use powerful symbols. We believe that great messaging succeeds when people can taste, smell, hear and visualize what we’re communicating - not just think about it.
