Campaign Coach!
You may have your team ready to go on the campaign. You have the candidate, the campaign manager, the volunteer coordinator, and a team of volunteers ready to work. All you need is some direction and coaching on how to ensure your victory. Forward Support is practiced at coaching candidates and their staff. We can provide you with a solid plan, then provide the coaching along the way to carry out that plan.
Forward Support offers an initial one hour free consultation.

First time candidates
When you decide to run for office, you have a good idea of why you are running, and what you want to accomplish. The difficult task is communicating your reasons for running to the voters who will elect you.
Our specialty at Forward Support is helping first time candidates build their voice, their message, and their organization.
We have worked for over three decades in every aspect of the political campaign. Our partners have been campaign volunteers, campaign staff, campaign managers, campaign consultants and candidates for office. We have gained the knowledge and experience that first time candidates can most benefit from.
Find your voice
Building the most effective campaign message really means finding the candidate’s voice. We help you find the best way to express your message, and develop the material (website, mailers, door hangers, voters pamphlet statement) to present a consistent and effective message.
Your voice is just as important in standing out from your competitors in the non-profit or business world. Logos, slogans, printed materials, and more are all necessary elements of any organization.
Build your organization
A campaign requires many steps to succeed. It is necessary to establish a solid campaign calendar, identify your persuadable and supportive voters, and effectively contact those voters. It is also necessary to raise adequate funds to run an effective campaign.
Jim Robison often tells candidates “You don’t need to outspend your opponent, but you do need to spend enough to be effective.”
The same can be said for a non-profit or small business - you need to compete in the community or marketplace the same way a candidate does in an election. A web site and social media presence are key parts to success. We can create a web site for you utilizing Drupal, a content management system that allows you to update your own content, as well as a database system for keeping track of donors, customers, and more. Our system can be anywhere from fully maintained to web hosting only. Contact us to build a package that suits your needs.
