Communicate message. Organize people. Raise money. Change the world.

We help progressives integrate their strategy with technology. We design and build websites. We provide interactive campaign tools. We coordinate email broadcasting. We do political research and manage databases. We build and publish blogs. However you're changing the world, we can help you win.

Get in touch and we'll show you how.

Politics & Technology

Our blog, Politics & Technology, explores how campaigns, candidates, and grassroots advocates are using the net as a communications and organizing tool.

Websites that matter.

Strategic focus. Building a great website isn't your goal; winning your campaign is. We'll help you figure out how to integrate your website into a successful overall strategy.

Sharp design. How do you tell the difference between a serious organization and the amateurs? Professionalism. You'll have quality print materials and broadcast spots - don't let your website look like amateur hour.

Content Management. That's a web-geek term for what you need: a website that can be managed by your team, in-house, without techie skills and at the speed of politics.

Email Broadcasting

Reach out and touch someone. A lot of someones. Send emails that will motivate your supporters - without tripping spam filters.

Our MandateMail email broadcasting service makes all things possible.

Blog Publishing

In addition to P&T, we publish two popular and influential blogs - BlueOregon and Western Democrat. We also manage LeftyBlogs.com, the home page for the progressive blogosphere. We're building an audience and changing the world. We can help you do the same.

Interactive Organizing

Blogs. Message Boards. Letters to the editor. Volunteer sign-ups. Petitions and surveys. We got these online tools - and more. Need something custom? We're on it.

Training & Workshops

Over the last seven years, we've taught internet strategy to well over a thousand folks in politics, nonprofits, and higher education - and received rave reviews.

Among the best.

We'd rather change the world than win awards. But, hey, awards are nice, too.

In 2007, we entered our work in the Pollies for the first time. And we won in all three categories we entered.

The American Association of Political Consultants honored three of our projects:

Candidates For Sale (for the Oregon League of Conservation Voters PAC) won a Pollie for Best Organization/PAC Website.

Help Earl Decide (for Earl Blumenauer for Congress) won a Pollie for Best Use of a Website for Volunteer or Field Organizing.

Saxton Watch (for the Democratic Party of Oregon) won a Pollie for Best Negative or Contrast Website.

Got Questions? We Got Answers.

What sorts of clients do you take on? Anybody who's changing the world. That is, political campaigns and causes, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, labor unions, and a handful of progressive companies we like.
