Unified Strategy Builder
Choose your industry — political, nonprofit, advocacy, or union — select a campaign type, and generate a complete multi-channel outreach workflow: phone banking, P2P texting, voice broadcast, SMS, and automated sequences, all mapped to your timeline.
HOW IT WORKS
Four industries, one strategy builder
Every industry runs different campaign types and uses different channel mixes. The builder adapts automatically to your vertical, generating a complete multi-channel outreach workflow that reflects what actually works for your campaign type, list size, and timeline.
Political Campaigns
Political campaign strategy covers every stage of an election cycle. Political campaign planning starts with knowing which channel to use at each phase.
- → Voter ID and persuasion workflows
- → GOTV multi-channel sequencing
- → Fundraising and donor outreach
Nonprofit Campaigns
Nonprofit fundraising strategy requires different sequencing than political outreach. This builder generates nonprofit outreach workflows covering fundraising, program outreach, and volunteer management.
- → Fundraising and major donor outreach
- → Volunteer recruitment and management
- → Event registration and attendance
Advocacy Campaigns
Advocacy campaigns mobilize supporters to influence policy or drive community action. Examples of advocacy campaigns include patch-through call drives, petition pushes, and legislative alert mobilizations.
- → Issue advocacy and patch-through calls
- → Community outreach mobilization
- → Voter persuasion on ballot measures
Union Campaigns
Union organizing, member engagement, contract ratification, and GOTV all require phased outreach built around steward capacity and member list size.
- → Union organizing and card signing
- → Contract ratification and strike authorization
- → Labor GOTV and electoral campaigns
THE CHANNELS
Six outreach channels, one workflow
The builder generates a complete multi-channel outreach strategy that assigns the right channel to each phase of your campaign. Here’s what each channel does, when to use it, and the benchmark data the builder uses to calculate your capacity.
Phone Banking
Phone banking is the practice of making outgoing calls to voters, donors, or members. In political phone banking campaigns it covers voter ID, persuasion, and GOTV.
Covers predictive, power, and preview dialer modesPredictive Dialer
A predictive dialer automatically dials multiple numbers simultaneously and connects agents only when a live person answers. Best for large-scale identification phases.
45-50 calls/hour per agentPower Dialer
A power dialer dials one number at a time for a better 1-on-1 experience. Best for persuasion-heavy phases where conversation quality matters.
20-25 calls/hour per agentP2P Texting
Peer-to-peer texting (P2P) enables agents to send personalized 1-on-1 text messages for two-way conversations. Best for persuasion and commitment-asking phases.
28% average response rateVoice Broadcast
Voice broadcast delivers a pre-recorded message to thousands of contacts per minute. Best for GOTV morning wake-up calls, urgent alerts, and pledge drives.
1,000+ contacts/minuteText Broadcast / SMS
Text broadcast (also known as text banking) delivers a one-way SMS to your entire list. Best for mass logistics alerts, reminders, and GOTV deadline pushes.

How the campaign workflow builder works
The Strategy Builder generates a ready-to-run campaign workflow for your industry and campaign type. A marketing campaign workflow for outreach is only useful if it’s built around your actual capacity. Here’s how it works in four steps.
- Choose your industry. Select from Political, Nonprofit, Advocacy, or Union. The builder restructures every output to match the dynamics of your specific vertical.
- Select your campaign type. Choose from voter persuasion, GOTV, fundraising, issue advocacy, volunteer recruitment, union organizing, member engagement, and more.
- Enter your list size, timeline, and team size. These three inputs drive the entire workflow. List size sets your contact universe. Team size calculates per-person workloads. Timeline determines phase lengths and escalation windows.
- Get your complete multi-channel outreach workflow. Step-by-step phases, channel recommendations, contact rate benchmarks, scripts by phase, and timing guidance. Enter your parameters and your complete campaign workflow appears in seconds, no spreadsheet required.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about campaign strategy and outreach
What is phone banking and how does it work in campaigns?
Phone banking means making coordinated outgoing calls to a contact list — voters, donors, members, or community contacts — to deliver a message, collect survey responses, or drive a specific action. In political campaigns specifically, phone banking covers voter ID, persuasion, and GOTV. The Strategy Builder recommends the right dialer type — predictive, power, or preview — based on your campaign stage and list size.
What is a predictive dialer and when should you use one?
A predictive dialer automatically dials multiple numbers at once and connects agents only when a live person answers, achieving 45-50 calls per hour per agent. It is best used during large-scale identification or voter turnout phases where volume matters more than conversational depth. For persuasion-heavy phases, a power dialer (20-25 calls per hour) provides better 1-on-1 conversation quality. The builder automatically recommends between the two based on your campaign phase.
What is P2P texting and when should campaigns use it instead of broadcast SMS?
P2P (peer-to-peer) texting is a channel where agents send personalized 1-on-1 text messages to individual contacts, enabling two-way conversations. It achieves a 28% response rate compared to broadcast SMS’s 5% response rate. P2P is best for persuasion and commitment-asking phases. Broadcast SMS (also called text banking) is best for mass logistics alerts, reminders, and turnout pushes where volume and read rate matter more than replies.
What are the best ways to increase voter turnout in a campaign?
The three most effective ways to increase voter turnout are: (1) A vote plan confirmation call 5 days before election day — a voter with a specific plan is 2x more likely to follow through. (2) A morning-of voice broadcast from a trusted figure — increases same-day turnout by approximately 15% among confirmed supporters. (3) A real-time P2P text operation on election day to remove last-mile barriers like rides and polling location confusion. The GOTV workflow in the Strategy Builder maps all three into a sequenced multi-channel plan.
What is an advocacy campaign and what outreach channels does it use?
An advocacy campaign is an organized effort to influence legislation, public policy, or community action by mobilizing supporters to take a specific action such as calling a legislator, attending a rally, or signing a petition. Effective advocacy campaigns use voice broadcast for mass alerts, P2P texting for personal mobilization, live call center for patch-through calls, and automated SMS sequences for deadline-based urgency.
Can this tool be used for nonprofit fundraising strategy?
Yes. Select Nonprofit as your industry and Fundraising as your campaign type. The builder generates a nonprofit fundraising strategy covering donor identification, cultivation calls, ask sequencing, and pledge follow-up — with channel-specific benchmarks for phone banking, P2P texting, and voice broadcast in a fundraising context.
