We are political junkies by training and at heart. While we are known for the most advanced digital strategies in politics, technology is only as good as the inputs that go into it. So we work closely with your lobbying and campaign teams to understand the nuances of your issues and build campaigns that are not a compilation of tactics, but instead are integrated strategies to win.
We deliver your message through the most advanced technology available, reaching policy makers, voters, business leaders, and other decision makers wherever they are.
Through our award-winning, full-service, design studio we produce some of the most hard-hitting, funny, and memorable ads you will see in politics.
We use cutting edge technology to mobilize voters and engage them in public policy debates.
We use the latest in online research techniques to find the right message and precisely measure the impact of your campaign.
We help you find out what you need to know, and what your opponent wants to know.

CEO & Founder
Bryan has served two U.S. Presidents and has over 30 years of experience in public affairs and campaigns. He started in politics as a fundraiser and grassroots organizer for Clinton/Gore ’96, where he was the campaign’s youngest employee. He went on to form a successful fundraising group that helped congressional and local candidates win competitive races.
From 2007-2008, Bryan was a member of Obama For America’s National Fundraising Committee. He later served in the Obama Administration as Senior Counsel at the U.S. Department of Energy where he worked on climate change legislation and implementing a $90 billion clean technology package.
Bryan’s public affairs experience has included running the solar industry’s advocacy across the country. During this time, the industry saw record expansions that were enabled by dozens of regulatory and legislative wins across the federal government and 47 states. A leading political journalist wrote that under his leadership the industry’s “mastery of guerrilla tactics is awe-inspiring.” Fortune profiled how he is “radically changing” political advocacy through technology.
He was the principal political strategist behind Proposition 36, the historic ballot measure in California that passed in 2024 with nearly 70% percent of the vote, which is transforming California’s homelessness and fentanyl crises.
Bryan is a double graduate of The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he received his B.A. in political science and his J.D.
He lives outside of San Francisco with his wife and two rescue dogs. When he’s not working, you’ll find him spending time with his two twenty-something daughters, snowboarding, or hanging out in wine country with his wife.
