AUGR was founded for one purpose:
to provide progressive political candidates and causes with the resources, information, and expert guidance that can take their campaign to the next level. We’ll help you define your platform and refine your messaging, create compelling logos and graphics that effectively convey your position, dig into the relevant demographics and statistics, and develop strategic communication plans to maximize your resources.
You have the vision – we have the tools.
Seeing the Whole Picture
Every progressive cause and candidate deserves an effective bullhorn, and every elected office or ballot initiative can have a significant impact on the lives of constituents and on the regional political landscape. AUGR believes that the candidates and organizations we work with are committed, capable, and rightfully confident — and we believe we can help you move the needle.
County- and state-level parties and progressive organizations are often underfunded and understaffed, and national party orgs (and consultants) tend to focus on only the most recognizable candidates in the highest-profile races. We believe that down-ballot races and community initiatives are just as important to building recognition and momentum for the causes and platforms we support, and we can supply the institutional knowledge, organizational guidance, and creative sophistication that can help make change happen – at a more affordable cost than you might expect.
WE’RE EXPERIENCED
Every member of our team has both real-world business experience and electoral campaign experience. We’ve owned small businesses, been corporate and nonprofit executives, and we’re credentialed political professionals.
WE’RE INNOVATORS
We understand the critical components that every effective campaign requires. We’ve created the tools our clients need to achieve their objectives, increase their impact on Election Day, and help turn the tide against regressive politics – and we’re willing to discard “the way it’s always been done” when we know there’s a more effective strategy we can deploy to get stronger results.
WE’RE COLLABORATIVE
We don’t manage your campaign. Instead, we provide the comprehensive set of integrated services and critical expertise you’ll need to run your best race, build your best organization, or move the needle in your initiative. We can help you maximize your opportunities both immediately and in the long-term.
WE’RE SELECTIVE
We work with clients at all levels whose focus and drive complement our own ambition to make a difference. We aim to maximize your return on value and impact your objectives because our priorities are the same as yours – to help shift the political landscape toward a more rational and forward-thinking ideal.
No two campaigns are exactly alike – each state, region, county, town, year, and season brings different challenges. We’ll be on hand to help you stay flexible and navigate the constantly shifting landscape, and to assist you in adjusting your messaging and your media presence when new issues arise. We’ll also provide you with effective guidance on maximizing your fundraising results, crafting savvy press releases to increase media coverage, and cementing alliances and garnering endorsements from organizations and individuals who can help boost your profile and amplify your message.
