ABOUT THE STRATEGIC CAMPAIGNS TEAM

The Strategic Campaigns team works with labor unions, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, leaders in arts and culture, partners in film and entertainment, philanthropic foundations and others focused on racial and economic justice. We help mission-driven leaders and organizations tell their stories and advance change. We work on campaigns led by working people across the economy who are fighting to raise pay, win or protect the right to a union and make sure our economy works for everyone. We help workers take on some of the largest, most powerful corporations and fight back against an economic and political system stacked in favor of the wealthy. Our work helps improve the lives of families and communities, with a particular focus on communities of color, and takes aim at the economic and political inequality that threatens our democracy.

The Inclusive Tech team within Strategic Campaigns works closely with clients across sectors to amplify advocacy campaigns and promote brand awareness for partners who share our aim to make the internet a safe, inclusive and fair space for all. We hold a unique vantage point on the ever-changing landscape of emerging technologies and internet oversight because we simultaneously partner with leading for-profit tech companies and advocacy organizations calling to reform them.

We are deeply versed in the responsible tech news of the day and maintain close relationships with the thought leaders, reporters and influencers who are shaping the 24/7 media narrative. We help our clients take on some of the largest, most powerful tech corporations and other entities to advocate for safe and equitable outcomes for historically marginalized communities. We also work on integrated campaigns deeply rooted in racial equity, corporate accountability and social impact.
