WHAT WE DO
Services
Data-Fueled Campaign Strategies
We dig into the numbers so your campaign hits harder and smarter. Geo-targeted voter analysis, demographic research, and win-number modeling help us identify where your votes are — and how to get them. Every strategy we build is grounded in data and tailored to your specific race, district, and community.
Platform & Messaging
Let good ideas speak for themselves. We turn complex policy into plain-spoken stories that resonate — translating your platform into language that connects with the real concerns of real people in your district. From core message development to issue framing and rapid response, we empower your team to tackle comms with confidence.
Marketing & Branding
We make your campaign look and sound like it means business — across every channel and every touchpoint. Content writing, social media, print literature, email campaigns, press outreach, websites, and full branding guides. Cohesive, compelling, and unmistakably human.
Field Services
Organizing wins elections, builds movements, and shifts society. We help grassroots and progressive causes accelerate their wins by bringing large-scale campaign tactics to the boots on the ground. From field planning and voter outreach strategy to canvasser recruitment, training, and the data infrastructure to track it all — we’ll be your third-party field manager.

Our Work
Rivera for Metro Tech 4
Cristina Rivera ran for the Metro Tech Board of Education in Oklahoma City — a first-time candidate bringing a background in healthcare, education, and community advocacy. PPS provided end-to-end campaign support, from branding and messaging to voter targeting and field planning. Rivera won her seat in March 2026 and was sworn in to represent District 4.
Dónes for Chicago 3B
Jason Dónes entered Chicago's first-ever all-elected school board race with a strong community base and a message that resonated — and needed infrastructure to match. PPS built the campaign's brand and digital presence from the ground up, developed policy and platform materials, and managed social media and SEO to maximize visibility in a historic and crowded field.
What Makes Us Different
Team
Our small, powerhouse team brings complementary experience across journalism, community organizing, digital communications, marketing, and field operations — the full arc of how campaigns are built and how stories get told. They've worked races from school board to presidential level, across the country, with Midwest roots and most of their time split between Texas and Chicago. That range means fewer blind spots and faster problem-solving, whatever your campaign looks like.
Values
We believe hope isn't just a message — it's a method. Our work is grounded in joy, imagination, and abundance, because campaigns that inspire people outperform campaigns that just inform. We work exclusively with progressive candidates and causes, which means our values are aligned before the first call.
Pricing
We believe good strategy shouldn't be reserved for campaigns with the biggest war chests, and we price our work to reflect that. Whatever your budget, we'll tell you honestly what's possible and how to make the most of it.
