is an undiscovered voter.
is an unheard message.
makes all the difference.
We seek to lift up progressive voices with the most innovative and empowering communications strategies by looking at electorates differently. Built on research started in 2017, our approach to research, message development, targeting, and communications strategies is more inclusive of voters other firms take for granted. This empowers our clients to run more authentic campaigns. In turn, it allows us to break away from traditional, uninspired designs and push new and innovative creative to the edge. When you work with us, your X emerges from the noise, and the path to victory is clearer than ever.
We are building a more equitable world.
Our mission is big, hairy, and audacious, and it is exactly what voters are looking for right now. Our strategies empower our clients to change the narrative around them, their campaign, and their community. Then, our clients change the lives of their constituents by changing city hall politics, pushing state legislatures toward progress, rattling the halls of Congress, and influencing the White House. We do it one elected official at a time … and we’ll do it for as long as we need to.
We are a targeted communications firm.
Campaign X Co. is an evolution of campaign consulting emerging from Chadderdon Lestingi Creative Strategies (CLCS). Our team combines the legacy of impactful direct mail creative with a groundbreaking, scientific, and data-driven approach to political targeting and strategies.
