Campaign Signs

“Signs don’t vote,” is a common refrain in our work, but this summer, boy, signs have been making me feel better. Stickers, lawn signs, flyers, and an NPR button adorning a plant—these signs of resistance and solidarity brightened my walks and occasionally made me laugh out loud. There’s a lot of work to be done (shameless plug: reach out to us if you want to talk about that work in the form of strategic consulting, training, direct mail, or digital content), but for today, I wanted to share some of the safe-for-work signs I’ve seen and (hopefully) add a little bit of light to your day. If you want to see some of the edgier signs, feel free to email me.

Your campaign is finally over and you might be feeling a bit of that post-campaign emptiness inside. We understand that feeling and have a lot of insight on what to do after a win or a loss. Like for most things in your campaign you’ll want to be thinking about a plan for your campaign shutdown at the beginning of the campaign as part of your overall campaign plan.
