Flagship Product

Voter Signal: conversational AI built for campaigns.

Most agencies just buy media. We do that — and we built our own conversational AI platform that turns paid impressions into real two-way conversations with voters.

Survey thousands of voters in days. Identify supporters, persuadables, and hard no's by name. Hand persuadables back to your field program with personalized second-touch messages already written.

§ III  ·  Approach

Three principles that set us apart.

Principle 01

Operators, not vendors.

Our team has run digital strategy, media planning, and SMS programs for thousands of campaigns at every level. We've sat in field HQs at 6pm on a Tuesday. We know what campaigns actually need, because we've delivered it ourselves.

Principle 02

Tech-forward, by design.

We don't bolt on new technology — we build with it. From mobile device ID targeting to P2P texting platforms to conversational AI, bringing emerging technology into politics is what The Valentine Group has always done.

Principle 03

One team, every channel.

You don't need three vendors for digital, TV, and SMS. You need one team that plans across all of them, executes in-house, and reports in a single integrated dashboard. That is what we do.

§ IV  ·  Principals

Built by campaign operators.

A small, senior team that has spent the last decade bringing emerging technology to Republican campaigns. Formerly known as MWPolitical — same team, evolved scope.
