What a political push looks like.

Three representative engagement shapes drawn from how we run political pushes. Same model every time: native clips across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, disclaimers enforced per the committee's brief, measured on views delivered against a written target.

Illustrative scenarios for explanation. Figures are sample targets, not the reported results of a specific named client.

Candidate News cycle

Debate-night push

A state-level candidate has a strong debate exchange. The campaign briefs us in advance with the disclaimer language and do-not-use lines. The night of, the first native clips ship within hours and roll out through the next two days while the moment is still the conversation.

Cadence surges on the debate night, then tapers. Clippers are picked by district geography. Every clip carries the paid-for-by language the committee provided.

Advocacy group Issue campaign

Issue campaign, always-on

An advocacy organization runs a months-long issue campaign. Long-form explainers, expert interviews, and member testimony become a steady stream of native short-form, distributed by clippers matched to the issue audience rather than a single org account.

Monthly retainer, view target reset each cycle. Brand and disclaimer guardrails enforced on every clip, with a written report at the end of each month for the board.

Committee Final stretch

GOTV final stretch

A committee runs a high-intensity get-out-the-vote push in the closing window. Rally lines, surrogate hits, and re-cut ad spots go out at daily volume, surging in the final days, all targeted to the geographies that matter.

A live dashboard tracks target pacing for the team, with takedowns honored fast and a clean delivery number to report when the window closes.

How every push runs

Three steps. That's it.

You bring the moment. We run the team, cut the clips, enforce the brief, post them native, and report against the target.

STEP 01

Brief the moment

A 15-min call sets the window, audience, message, and guardrails: required disclaimers, do-not-use lines, tone. Written view target and CPM back the same day.

STEP 02

We clip and amplify

Clippers picked by geography and issue cut native clips for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels, with your disclaimer on every clip. First clips live within hours of the moment.

STEP 03

Watch it land

A live dashboard tracks every clip and platform against the target. You pay for views delivered. Deliver under, pay less. Never full price for half the views.
