While Julie still leads our creative team, she’s excited to be at the helm of our new effort: Elevated Campaigns.

Julie heads up our expanded strategic and creative team and is working to set a new standard for political communications and advertising.

With experience developing successful direct mail, TV, online and social media, Julie is uniquely suited to manage our firm’s growing list of services. With equal passion for aesthetics and analytics, Julie will ensure Elevated Campaigns’ work continues to look great, tells a compelling story and connects with the right voters.

In the past, Julie spearheaded our independent expenditure work in key states to help elect President Barack Obama, helped elect a handful of Democratic Governors, a trio of US Senators, dozens of members of Congress and hundreds of state legislators.

Julie has also developed winning ballot measure advertising that has helped raise over $2 billion for everything from preserving ranch lands to rebuilding crumbling public schools.

Just a few of Julie’s national clients include: EMILY’s List, National Wildlife Federation, Latina Initiative, Americans for Health Care and SEIU United Healthcare Workers-West.

Julie majored in History and French at the University of Texas at Austin.

He has served as a strategic adviser to national union leaders, big city mayors, reform-minded prosecutors, state and national lawmakers and nonprofit executives. He has crafted innovative organizing and electoral campaigns at all levels.

Jack received his undergraduate degree from Marquette University and a master’s degree in communications from Northwestern University. He also worked in crisis communications and management for United Airlines.
