Dogwood Campaigns

There's no foolproof instruction manual for building a winning campaign. You need a team that can help you build a presence on social media, train volunteers, connect with donors, and a lot more, all on a shoestring budget.

How We Work

Every Race is Different

We know that every campaign is different: so are we. We'll never give you a cookie-cutter campaign; we build thoughtful and actionable plans for your whole campaign, bespoke to you and your district. Whether you're a policy wonk, a powerhouse fundraiser, or a household name, we'll fill in the gaps and help you plan and run a winning campaign.

A Partner for the Long Haul

Most campaigns start over from zero for their reelection. Staff and volunteers move on, contracts lapse, donors lose touch, and the infrastructure you worked so hard to build falls away. It doesn't have to be that way: we'll be there to help you stay engaged and ramp back up as soon as it's time. Every time you run again, it should get easier.

Experience on Tap

Our team is your campaign's secret weapon. Need a gut check, a briefing on the latest campaign research and literature, or just someone to bounce ideas off? We're on call when you need us so you can focus on your community and your voters instead of spending your time figuring out what you should be doing.

North Carolina Native

We're Tar Heels who have spent our careers electing Democrats from Murphy to Manteo. We have the local knowledge and connections that national firms can't match, and we care about electing Democrats here because we care about our friends, our family, and the Old North State.

Reasonable Prices, Unreasonable Service

We'll work with you to build the best campaign possible, no matter how much you can afford. From school board to statewide, we're here to win elections, not buy a beach house. When you hire Dogwood, you get more than a spreadsheet of potential donors or a design file for a mailer: you get a partner with the expertise to build your whole operation from kickoff all the way through Election Day.

Responsible Consulting

We want you to run a great campaign, but we don't want to steamroll everyone else to do it. We're committed to being responsible partners to Democrats and progressives across the state, not just those who happen to have a contract with us.

Our Story

Running for office is demanding and time-consuming enough: don't run without a great team behind you.

We started Dogwood Campaigns because we saw over and over how hard it was for great candidates in North Carolina to get the top-shelf advice, support, and staffing they needed to win. Great candidates should be focused on reaching out to their community, not trying to understand email marketing best practices, writing a field plan, or coaching volunteer canvassers. That's where we come in.

We've planned and run campaigns from town council seats all the way to nationally-targeted multi-million dollar races, and we have experience doing everything from tracking and field to major donor cultivation and paid media targeting. We'll work with you to build a great plan you can follow, and then we'll be with you every step of the way as you make it happen.
