Service Offerings

Community Organizing

Event Management

Social Media

Strategic Communications

When it comes to helping organize the 2016 Democratic National Convention, how many companies can say “been there, done that?”

The Need

Volunteers were essential to producing the 2016 Democratic National Convention. The predicted volunteer numbers were a part of the bid process and the most critical component of a successful event of this size.

The Insight

Grimm & Grove’s model from the 2000 Republican National Convention was looked upon as the foundation for success – only this time we had access to social media, email and online applications

Background

Tactics

The Solution

We utilized social media for not only recruiting, but also maintaining the personal touch with organized volunteer groups. Our Volunteer Program committee included professionals who had experience running massive volunteer efforts every day. Their expertise, resources and network were an invaluable ingredient of the initiative’s success.

Beyond Communications

The Result

Yet another successful, well-run and historic event that managed political (and meteorological!) hurdles. And once again, Philadelphia shined… even when it rained.
