Bigify LLC: Strategic consulting for progressive groups and campaigns
I have two decades of experience at the leading edge of online campaigning and fundraising, grassroots organizing, communications, and progressive political campaigns.
I was the architect behind MoveOn's successful campaigns to take over the House, Senate, and White House, creating a tech-enabled model of scalable field organizing that has spread throughout the progressive movement.
I spent more than four years growing the Fight for $15, melding traditional communications with digital strategy and politics. And I have led policy, polling, and grasstops/congressional outreach for Economic Security Project.
Strategy
I work with organizations to plan and run progressive campaigns, develop political strategy, choose cutting-edge technology, and build capacity to win.
• Planning strategic campaigns for organizing, advocacy, communications, and electoral victories.
• Launching experiments and new programs, to break out of the box but with clear metrics for success.
• Leading political outreach to organizations and officeholders.
• Using cutting-edge tech to move people to action.
• Organizational development, including strategic planning, campaign evaluation, and restructuring for organizational change.
Testimonials
“The combination of old and new [Internet] organizing strategies really seems to have paid off here.”
“When we want to launch a new campaign that is outside our core program, I call Adam. I’ve come to rely on his political judgment, his ability to foster coalition relationships, and his management of broad strategies and crucial details.”
“Adam is a real pro and we greatly appreciate all he did to help make the campaign the amazing success it has been.”
“A leftist luminary.”
