Colton Brugger’s Summary

I help conservative candidates and officeholders by making their use of old campaign tools (e.g. direct mail) more effective and by integrating new tools that are far more efficient and allow for broader, faster and more accurate delivery of information.

We cannot rely on old tools and old styles to deliver a conservative message in the future. We cannot solely rely on the big donors that have provided for the party in the past. We must implement new strategies, reach out to markets that we have neglected in the past, and engage broader financial support. With every client, my goal is to achieve all of the above.
