Government relations, issue advocacy, public education, and political campaigns.
We help organizations understand public decisions, reach the people making them, and build support for change.
Strategy, outreach, messaging, creative, and media—working toward one public goal.
Reach the people who make the decision.
We identify who makes the decision and how to reach them. Our work includes stakeholder mapping, policy communications, testimony, and outreach. We agree on the scope of any direct lobbying before work begins.
Build the support that makes the case for you.
We build coalitions and help organizations explain what they want to change, why it matters, and how people can help.
Make the issue clear.
We make complex issues clear. Research helps us measure what people understood, as well as how many we reached.
New York political consulting and campaign strategy
We help candidates and campaign teams clarify their message and put it to work. Bring us a defined assignment or a gap in your team, from campaign strategy to creative and digital execution.
Our team develops strategy, copy, design, websites and digital media. For polling fieldwork, printing or mailing, we confirm who delivers each part and what Consense coordinates before agreeing the scope.
Campaign strategy
A practical plan for your audience, message, budget and election calendar. We provide strategy and consulting alongside your campaign team.
Messaging and branding
Positioning, campaign narrative, copy and visual direction. We turn the candidate’s priorities into a consistent message across campaign materials.
Political direct mail
Campaign copy and design built around the audience and the ask. Any printing or mailing coordination is defined in the project scope.
Political digital advertising
Audience targeting, ad creative, copy testing, media buying and reporting. We manage the digital program and explain what its results do—and do not—show.
Polling and message testing
Research support to understand where a campaign stands and assess its message. Research methods, fieldwork and analysis responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
Fundraising communications
Donor messaging, email, SMS and call-time materials. We help make the case for support; the engagement defines the communications work your team needs.
Campaign websites
Messaging, branding and website design for candidates. We build a clear place to understand the campaign and take the next step.

Read the Eli Northrup case studyThe same discipline applies beyond elections: set the deadline, then work backward.
We don't work both sides of a race or against a current client's interests. We check for conflicts before taking on work and tell you if we find one. Every client gets the same discretion.
