About

We run innovative digital campaigns for political clients around the world.

Approach

It's important to mobilise, as well as inform, the public. We achieve this by:

driving traffic to a website and other campaign 'points of presence'
requesting personal details to allow an ongoing, tailor made dialogue
enriching your database with relevant socio-demographic data
escalating from visitor → follower → supporter → advocate → activist
ensuring that campaign views are heard on TV, radio and the press
providing supporters with tools to get heard on social media
raising funds so that digital is an investment, not a cost.

Experience

Our agency has over a decade of experience — working with legislatures, ministers, political parties, MPs, think tanks, grassroot campaigns, councillors and trade associations.

We've developed websites, run mailing lists, taken donations, managed leadership campaigns, sent out the whip, mobilised voters, distributed press kits, streamed videos, run intranets and much more.

Politico's Design is owned by Justin Jackson and Paul Collin. Justin taught politics at Oxford University before working in Westminster. Paul has an extensive background in direct marketing and digital campaigns.

Services

We offer a full range of products — and the experience to know which you need.

Websites

This remains the centrepiece of any digital strategy; indeed, for many people it's the only contact they have with a campaign.

Audio/video

The most effective way to get your message across is through high quality podcasting or video on demand.

Traffic Generation

A mix of search engine optimisation, paid online advertising and earned social media is needed to spread the message.

Mailing Lists

The proven method of keeping in touch with supporters is an attractive, personalised email campaign.

Social Media

It's vital to have an up to date, approachable presence on networks such as Twitter and Facebook.

Fundraising

Digital can pay for itself through sales and donations — and the right technology ensures you comply with the law.

Data Analysis

Socio demographic overlays and digital activity enrich databases, supplement quantitative research and inform strategy.

Advocacy Tools

A campaign should provide its supporters with the means to spread its message and recruit more activists.
