QUINCY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Propel Political, the political services arm of Quincy, Mass.-based Propel Marketing, has been named a finalist for Best New Firm for the 2016 Reed Awards.
The Reed Awards, presented annually by Campaigns & Elections, recognize excellence in political campaigns, consulting, and design from across the globe. Winners will be announced February 18 at Campaign & Elections annual conference and awards ceremony, which will be held this year in Charleston, SC.
“This is a tremendous accomplishment for our team, and is a testimonial to all the hard work Propel has put into becoming one of the nation’s premiere digital services firms for political campaigns and causes,” said Andrew Donovan, Director of Political and Advocacy Development at Propel Marketing.
“We were able to consistently help clients ranging from small town officials to national advocacy groups reach their target audiences, and amplify their message, which are hallmarks of any good digital marketing campaign.”
Propel Marketing launched its political-focused subdivision in late 2014, recognizing that the products and services the company already provided to thousands of locally-owned businesses across the country could also be applied to political campaigns. Propel Political received 3 Reed Award nominations following the 2014 campaign cycle for its social media and digital display microtargeting efforts.
In 2015, Propel Political’s first full year, the team worked against the industry grain, opting to build out a business model that focuses on local and regional elections, such as state legislature, county offices, and city and town boards. In addition to working with some big-dollar initiatives, Propel Political provided digital services to more than 30 local candidates and causes across the country, ranging from mayor and city council, to school committee and district judge.
“Just as the local flower shop needs a digital presence nowadays to be competitive, so does the candidate for local office,” said Donovan. “We’re proud to be able to provide that online presence, and, as this nomination shows, do it well.”
