DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE CAMPAIGNS

 Blue Dot Consulting helps candidates and their staff run effective, data-driven, compelling and efficient campaigns that move the needle. Whether you’re looking for a total campaign management solution, or partners to help direct specific elements of your campaign plan (like grassroots organizing, fundraising, etc.) –

Blue Dot Consulting can help you refine your plans to exceed your goals.

Campaign Strategy

If you want to run an effective campaign, you'll need to create a strategic vision, a detailed plan, and establish a winning culture. Outside of the execution of best in class strategies and tactics, you’ll need to have clarity on the big picture- including a theory of your race, a path to victory and a strong grasp of how it will all come together - cash flow, staffing, scaling, partnerships, brand positioning, and more. We can help you craft the kind of plan that will show partners and others that you have real vision for your race and the plans and partners necessary to carry it out effectively.

Branding & Message Development

Context is everything and the elements/dimensions of your political brand should be well thought out. What groups and voters are in your winning coalition? What element of your brand speaks to each of those groups/voters? We can help you develop this from the start and design the system to deliver it.

Organizing

A winning campaign will need to build, and effectively execute, the traditional voter contact programs - like doors and phones - to be competitive. In addition, you'll want to leverage the new relational and distributed models that are empowering networks and volunteers in new and exciting ways - and helping campaigns blow through their ID goals. We can help you do both, well (even in a pandemic).

Fundraising

Systems, processes, the right partnerships and the repeated execution of best in class tactics will be the difference between hitting your fundraising goals and being stressed out at the end of each quarter. We can help you build a custom plan based on your strengths and provide all of the training and resources you'll need to handle this critical campaign element.

Coalition Building

Effectively handling the politics of politics will gain you the right endorsements and the resources that come along with them. Do you know how to have a good political meeting? How and when to make the asks? We will help you build a winning coalition that will give you the edge over your opponent.

  • Client Testimonial

    "I can't thank Taylor and Kelsey enough for their advice, support, and guidance during my run for state representative. I could never have done everything myself. Their work behind the scenes allowed me to focus on the things I needed to do as a candidate."

    —Kentucky State House Candidate

  • Client Testimonial

    "Working with Kelsey and Taylor was a wonderful experience. Even though they didn’t live in my district, they had the experience to help run an effective campaign and they took the time to learn my district and develop a campaign plan accordingly. Kelsey was always there for random texts, fears, breakdowns that a first time candidate has and that in and of itself was invaluable. They were open and responsive to my suggestions and thoughts and our collaborations created a campaign that I was incredibly proud of. I always felt supported while running and they kept my energy going with direct honesty, encouragement, and practicality that I needed. I’m so thankful to have gone through this first experience of running with Kelsey and Taylor and look forward to working with them again in the future."

    —Kentucky State Senate Candidate

  • Client Testimonial

    “Officially, Kelsey joined the campaign team to help with fundraising (which she did with great skill and enthusiasm). But more than that, the two of them made me believe that anything was possible … that we really could make progress in our state.

    I can truthfully say that without Taylor and Kelsey, I never could have stuck with that campaign for the long six months that it lasted. Their experience, deep political connections, and their unflappable optimism and belief in a better world, make them an indispensable part of any campaign team.”
