MAIN STREET COMMUNICATIONS, LLC
DAVENPORT, IA

By helping our clients run tough, smart, tactical campaigns and producing award-winning TV and radio ads, Main Street enables candidates to define both themselves and the larger political debate. As media and strategic consultants, we work with your pollster to create and implement a cohesive, proactive and consistent message that develops a clear candidate image, takes the offense in the media and in the blogs, responds quickly and aggressively to crises and redefines the opposition. Our Philosophy We believe in a basic principle: winning campaigns are based on creative ads. Most people do not care about politics – and they hate political ads. Making matters worse, campaigns must compete not only with their opponents, but also with large corporations for airtime. The average congressional campaign may spend $1,000,000 on TV and radio ads over several months; Apple might spend that much for just a couple of weeks of advertising. That is why your ads must be clever, concise, humorous and unique – in short, they must demonstrate the originality and the creativity it takes to punch through a crowded TV market. We accomplish this by creating compelling ads that use humor, music and pop culture references to connect with voters on an emotional level. Our ads neither look nor sound “political.” We have built our reputation by producing creative, strategic, and smart-looking ads that help our candidates win upset races against better-funded “front-runners”; our clients are often out-spent, but never out-hustled. Main Street becomes far more than a strategic partner in your campaign; we become steadfast allies in battle focused almost single-mindedly on helping you win. Whether we are producing pitch-perfect ads or delivering seamless online-offline strategies, we have a record of success and a level of involvement that no other firm can match. At Main Street, we strictly limit the number of clients we take on, and we get deeply involved in these races. Unlike other firms, we do not keep additional producers on staff; when you hire Main Street, you get Main Street had the single best won-loss record of any Democratic media firm in the country in 2010 — and again in 2012!
