Engage is a full-service interactive agency with a track record of winning the toughest battles in politics and public policy. We have held senior new media roles on presidential campaigns, the Republican National Committee and, dozens of statewide campaigns and policy initiatives.

From the web’s earliest days, we were leaders at harnessing its political potential. Today, digital media is changing the fundamental dynamics of how public policy fights are won. Once relegated to the sidelines, “new” media is now a primary strategic vehicle driving victory or defeat. You need a new kind of partner who recognizes this new reality and can shape the field of battle in your favor. We thrive at the nexus of strategy, media, and technology — and bring this holistic approach to winning elections.

Strategy

Every winning campaign starts with a big idea and a focused plan for victory. We are available as strategic partners in developing your core message and brand, devising the plan of attack, and then managing your political or policy campaign with the most modern toolkit at our disposal. In a time of exceptional change in media and politics, looking to what worked in the past to write today’s playbook just won’t do. We see the entire strategic landscape and then execute, foot firmly planted in the new world — not the old.

Media

To drive that strategy, we deliver compelling media and branding: web video, social media campaigns, mobile, viral distribution strategies, and seamless execution that ties it all together. Too many campaigns are engulfed by tribal squabbles between consultants over which mediums will be used to communicate the message. We unify and make sense of your electronic communications, giving you the ideal mix of new and traditional media.

Technology

One big difference with most of our competition is that we don’t outsource our technology operation, which usually means two things: big markups and middlemen. Our industry-leading Interactive Division is part of the Engage family, delivering stunning design, expertly crafted websites, and custom application development. Technology is no longer an optional “add-on.” It’s a seamless extension of strategy, and we treat it that way in everything we do.
