270 Strategies

(Community Matters) Certainly expect this to rock our worlds

Politico Playbook:

EXCLUSIVE : “Mitch Stewart, former Obama for America battleground states director, and Jeremy Bird, former Obama for America national field director, are starting a new grassroots organizing firm — called 270 Strategies [270 electoral votes to win] — to help clients build people-centered, data-driven, digitally-sophisticated campaigns by applying the historic Obama organizing model to campaigns of any kind. 270 Strategies will open offices in Chicago (to be run by Bird) and in D.C. (run by Stewart). Stewart and Bird led the 2012 OFA grassroots organization of 10,000 neighborhood team leaders, 30,000 core team members and 2 million volunteers in registering 1.8 million voters, holding millions of persuasion conversations with targeted voters, and replicating the 2008 electorate across battleground states.

“Marlon Marshall, Bird’s deputy on the campaign; Mark Beatty, Stewart’s deputy; and Meg Ansara and Lauren Kidwell, former OFA regional directors, also will join the firm as partners. Together, this team has played a multitude of roles in building the Obama grassroots organization since the 2007 Iowa caucuses. 270 Strategies is founded on the belief that grassroots campaigns can change the world.” Twitter: @270Strategies
