We check in with candidates, consultants, strategists and more to find out what’s working — and what’s not! — in the political digital world.
Meet Your Host Josh Klemons, Digital Marketing Strategist and Progressive Political Campaign Consultant
He’s worked dozens of campaigns, helping candidates, campaigns and orgs ramp up and scale their digital marketing programs.
From general consultant to serving as a full digital agency, he’s worked with national, statewide and downballot campaigns as they navigate the internet, build their online base, raise money and move the digital needle.
LIVING AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICS
He’s also worked with hundreds of clients outside the political space, ranging from solopreneurs and tiny non-profits to Fortune 500 companies, helping them master their digital marketing programs.
He reads as many newsletters about social media as he does about politics. He lives at the intersection of these two complicated-but-oh-so-important industries.
