270 Strategies is a small- to mid-sized consulting firm based in the District of Columbia, operating in the business consulting and services space. It designs and supports grassroots campaigns that are people-centered, data-driven, and digitally sophisticated, with clients in political campaigns and advocacy organizations seeking to mobilize supporters and achieve strategic objectives. In 2012 the firm helped build an expansive grassroots infrastructure connected to the Obama campaign, organizing 10,000 Neighborhood Team Members, 30,000 Core Team Members, and about 2.2 million volunteers. This network registered roughly 1.8 million voters and generated millions of conversations with target voters, contributing to early voting efforts in battleground states and reflecting elements of the 2008 electorate. Lessons from leading the Obama organization inform its approach, including an emphasis on list-building, developing trained, empowered leaders, and tailoring campaigns to the communities they engage.
