The 2023 General Election quickly became an intensely competitive field, driving Clean Virginia to approach our team with a large ask: a full electoral support program with candidate-specific landing pages, two full message treatments, and Spanish mirror assets to ensure the victory of anti-corruption, clean energy-focused champions. Our team got organized, got to work, and got wins for Clean Virginia’s targeted races.
Using Polling to Craft Individualized Messages Around a Common Theme
Prior to diving into the creative elements of this program, our team closely collaborated with Clean Virginia and their polling firm to ensure we were testing laser-sharp messages that would move voters in the Digital space. We landed on affordability and reducing corporate influence as our most motivating themes, and then used each candidate’s personal narrative to directly connect their campaign to the issues that voters indicated were most important.

About Clean Virginia
Clean Virginia is an independent advocacy organization with an associated PAC – Clean Virginia Fund – that seeks to advance clean government and clean energy by fighting utility monopoly corruption in Virginia politics. The political arm of Clean Virginia supports candidates who have a demonstrable commitment to affordable clean energy and who will not accept money from the utilities they are tasked with regulating.
There are two types of vendors. Some vendors make my job harder, and some make it easier - and COMPETE is definitely one of the latter. They helped us execute an excellent, sprawling, complicated campaign for over a dozen candidates. Our stakeholders, and elected officials we work with, are very happy with the impact our work with COMPETE has had.
