As seasoned communicators with decades of national political and corporate campaign experience, we believe the future of trust is local and communication is personal. Our local communication programs are built to activate consumers and constituents. We know one of the most effective ways to expand clients’ reach with the right messages is through hyperlocal activations.

Our Work

In 2020, a company partnered with Targeted Victory to drive positive media stories through a hyperlocal campaign. Over twelve months, Targeted Victory and our on the ground field operatives in 22 states drove a steady drumbeat of over 5,000 positive print, radio, and television placements that highlighted how the company brings together local communities through tools for small businesses, groups, and nonprofits. The Targeted Victory team worked to help localize and amplify key announcements including new partnerships with state and local health agencies and important small business support initiatives.

When a client decided to roll out its new product feature, they teamed up with Targeted Victory to execute a coast-to-coast celebration, driving hyperlocal engagement and events in all 50 states. Using our network of local field teams on the ground, Targeted Victory planned hyperlocal events, worked with community partners, pitched local media before, during, and after the events and provided on-site support. Targeted Victory planned and executed 50 events on the same day, earning over 350 local media hits and helped turn out 40,000 attendees interacting with the new feature.

A leading trade association needed to educate key U.S. Senators, Republicans and Democrats, about its industry and policy priorities. To complement its Washington, DC strategy, the association partnered with Targeted Victory to develop a grasstops program on the ground in a dozen states.

Targeted Victory provided an initial audit of each legislator’s key priorities and from there identified, vetted, and recruited the most effective advocates to participate in meetings, events, and discussions with each Senator. Our local team on the ground, working with the Targeted Victory strategy team, provided all of the necessary support to execute these visits, including scheduling, logistics, messaging, and briefing materials for the advocate and Senator.
