Direct Services

Need just one thing? I can build that.

You do not need a full campaign on retainer to get one piece done right. These are specific projects you can hire me for on their own, each priced by the work and settled up front. Here is exactly what I can build for you.

You should not have to hire a whole campaign to get one piece done right.

How it works

Priced by the project. No surprises.

Each project is priced by the difficulty of the task, and we settle it up front so you know the number before I start. If you find you want a steady hand through the whole cycle, the full-service side is right next door.

  • Clear deliverable. You know exactly what you are getting and when, written down before any work starts.
  • One price, up front. Priced by the difficulty of the task, settled before I begin, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
  • Stack as needed. Order one piece or several. When it starts adding up to a full operation, we can talk about a retainer.

01

Call-Time Lists & Scripts

Your list is built from proprietary donor data and modeled against real giving history, so the people most likely to give — and to give big — rise to the top of the page. Every name carries a suggested ask sized to that donor, and the scripts are written in your voice for each segment, not one generic pitch. Hand it to a candidate or a finance director and the program runs itself.

What you get

  • Ranked, phone-ready prospect list
  • Suggested ask amount per donor
  • Segment-specific call scripts
  • Built-in notes & data-entry fields
  • Ready for phones, texts, mail, or email

What you may also need

  • A fundraising goal and a call-time schedule to actually work the list
  • A place to log results — I can set up a simple CRM or sheet
  • Follow-up text or email copy for the no-answers
  • A finance plan if you're standing up a full call-time operation

What payment looks like

One flat fee for the list, quoted up front from list size and how deep the data pull goes — no hourly meter. A deposit reserves the work and the balance is due on delivery. Refreshes and re-rankings of a list I've already built are priced well below the first run.

ExampleHand it to a candidate and they can start dialing in five minutes, no guesswork.

02

Mailpiece Design

Real design, not a template — front and back artwork built to print specs with bleed and CMYK handled, and the MEC or FEC disclaimer line set correctly so your filing stays clean. I size each piece to your printer and USPS requirements so it drops the day it should, looking like real money went into it.

What you get

  • Front and back artwork
  • Print-ready files (bleed, CMYK)
  • MEC or FEC disclaimer set correctly
  • Sized to your printer and USPS specs

What you may also need

  • A printer or mail house — I can recommend one and send them the specs
  • A targeted mail list (that's the Targeted Advertising service)
  • A postage budget, billed by the mail house
  • Copywriting if you don't have the message nailed down yet

What payment looks like

A flat design fee per piece, quoted before I start. Printing and postage are billed separately by your vendor — I hand off press-ready files. Multi-piece programs are quoted as a set at a better rate than one-offs.

ExamplePostcards, self-mailers, and walk pieces that land the day they should.

03

Literature & Palm Cards

The piece a voter actually holds at the door or picks up off a table — a palm card, rack card, or handbill with a tight message and a layout that reads in about five seconds. Headshot and logo cleanup are included, and the disclaimer is set so the piece is filing-ready the moment it's printed.

What you get

  • Palm card, rack card, or handbill
  • Print-ready files
  • Headshot and logo cleanup
  • Disclaimer included

What you may also need

  • A print shop — I send press-ready files and can recommend one
  • A clean headshot and logo to work from (I'll retouch what you have)
  • Your core message, if it isn't settled yet
  • A walk or lit-drop plan to actually get them into hands

What payment looks like

A flat fee per piece, settled up front. Bundle a few pieces and they're quoted together at a better rate. Printing is billed by your print shop, not me.

ExampleA palm card a volunteer can hand over without having to explain it.

04

Programmatic & Streaming Ads

Your video or display creative is placed programmatically across connected-TV, streaming apps, display, and social, targeted down to the household from the voter file. I traffic the campaign, watch it live, and adjust while the race is still moving — so you reach one precinct instead of paying to blanket a whole county.

What you get

  • Campaign setup and ad trafficking
  • Voter-file household targeting
  • Connected-TV, streaming, display, and social
  • Live performance reporting

What you may also need

  • A finished video or display creative — I can produce it if you don't have one
  • A media budget, separate from the setup fee
  • A landing page or destination URL for the click
  • A defined voter universe to target (I can build it)

What payment looks like

A setup-and-management fee covers the build, targeting, and trafficking; your media spend is a separate line, billed at cost. There's a practical minimum spend to get meaningful reach — I'll tell you what that is for your district before you commit a dollar.

ExampleReach one precinct instead of paying to blanket a whole county.

05

Targeted Advertising & Electioneering

I build the exact universe of voters who decide your race, write the persuasion and turnout message for them, and place it across the channels that reach them — timed for the weeks that move the number. Persuasion early, GOTV late, and no wasted impressions on people who were never going to decide it.

What you get

  • Voter universe and audience build
  • Message and creative
  • Multi-channel placement
  • GOTV and electioneering timing

What you may also need

  • Voter-file access for your district (I can pull it)
  • Creative to run — I can produce video, display, or mail
  • A media budget for the buy itself
  • A timeline locked early, since GOTV windows close fast

What payment looks like

A strategy-and-build fee for the universe, message, and placement plan; the media buy itself is a separate budget line. Quoted up front, with timing-sensitive GOTV work scoped tighter as the window narrows.

ExampleThe right message, to the right voters, in the last weeks that move the number.

06

Campaign Plans

The written blueprint for the race: your win number and the vote-goal math behind it, a budget and fundraising plan, a field and communications timeline, and the targeting and message strategy that ties it all together. It's the document that holds up in front of a treasurer, a manager, and a major donor — so everyone on your team is rowing the same direction.

What you get

  • Win number and vote-goal math
  • Budget and fundraising plan
  • Field and communications timeline
  • Targeting and message strategy

What you may also need

  • An honest read on your fundraising capacity to ground the budget
  • Candidate and team time for input and a working session
  • District and voter-file data (I can pull it)
  • Campaign Analysis underneath it, if you want the targeting data-backed

What payment looks like

One flat fee for the finished plan, scaled to the race — a municipal plan and a countywide plan are not the same lift. Quoted up front and includes a walkthrough so the team actually uses it.

ExampleA plan that holds up in front of a treasurer, a manager, and a major donor.

07

Campaign Analysis

A clear, data-grounded read on where your race really stands — district and turnout analysis, performance and DPI modeling, and a plain-English assessment of where the votes, the opportunities, and the risks actually are. Real numbers to drive your decisions instead of gut feel.

What you get

  • District and turnout analysis
  • Performance and DPI modeling
  • Opportunity and risk assessment
  • Plain-English findings

What you may also need

  • Voter-file access for your district
  • Past election results and turnout history for the area
  • The decision you're trying to make — it focuses the analysis
  • A campaign plan to put the findings to work (right next door)

What payment looks like

A flat project fee, priced by district size and how deep the modeling goes. A one-time read and an ongoing tracking arrangement are quoted differently — either way you get the number before I start.

ExampleWhat the precincts, turnout, and history say about the votes really on the table.
