A full-time contact program costs a fraction of one TV buy.

Direct voter contact is the highest-leverage dollar a campaign spends. We make it affordable enough to run all cycle, and effective enough to move the margin.

Cost-effective by design Proven across 100+ campaigns Built for deliverability

The deliverability problem

Most campaign outreach never reaches a voter.

Texts get filtered before they're read.
Calls get flagged before they connect.
Lists go unworked because no one has time.

Campaigns pour budget into TV, mail, and digital, then leave the most direct outreach to whoever has a spare hour. The result is a list that gets screened out instead of a program that gets through.

Carriers flag more legitimate campaign calls and texts every cycle. A professional contact program is built for deliverability from the start. That's the difference between a list and a conversation.

What we connect you with

Voter contact, run by people who do it for a living.

PRIMARY

SMS outreach

Peer-to-peer and broadcast texts built for deliverability, with scripts that start conversations, not get blocked.

  • Targeted voter universes, not spray-and-pray
  • Branching scripts that handle real replies
  • Opt-out and compliance handled for you
  • Response tracking tied to voter records
CORE

Phone banking

Live programs that connect your campaign directly with voters, run by callers who know how to keep a conversation going.

  • Persuasion, voter ID, and GOTV programs
  • Trained callers, not a robo-blast
  • Numbers managed to protect connect rates
  • Call outcomes reported back to your file
ALSO

Robocalls

Automated voice messaging for the moments it fits, deployed compliantly as part of a broader program.

  • Reminders, alerts, and event turnout
  • Clean audio and tight targeting
  • Used to amplify, never to replace live contact

Every program is backed by strategic consulting on universe, message, and timing. We'll talk through the right mix for your race on your call.

Why direct contact wins

The research
is clear.
Reaching voters directly moves elections.

Decades of field experiments show that personal, direct voter contact outperforms almost everything else a campaign can spend on. The catch is that it only works when it's done well. Generic blasts and robo-only programs underperform. Quality, targeting, and a real conversation are what move the number.

The through-line across every study: contact that feels personal works, and contact that feels like spam doesn't. That's the entire reason a professional program beats a DIY one. Sources include peer-reviewed GOTV field experiments and published campaign-technology analyses. Effects vary by race, universe, and execution; these figures are directional, not guarantees.

A campaign team at work in a busy office

Behind every program is a team that treats your race like their own.

How it works

From first contact to live program in days, not weeks.

No software to install, no volunteers to recruit, no learning curve. You bring the race, we bring the program. Here's the whole path.

01

Tell us about your race.

Share your office, cycle stage, target universe, and the challenge you're facing. Takes about two minutes through the form below.

02

We reach out to you.

We follow up with a few proposed times for a short consultation. We'll talk through your goals, your universe, and where contact moves the needle. No obligation.

03

We scope and launch.

If it's a fit, we connect you with the team, scope a program sized to your race and budget, and get your texts and calls into the field.

Then we run it, and we report on it. You get a program managed end to end: contact deployed, deliverability protected, and reporting that ties every text and call back to your voter file. You always know what was sent, who responded, and what it's doing for your numbers.

Built by campaign operators

Seasoned operators who've done the work.

Dial was built by two people who've spent their careers inside campaigns and brands, not on the sidelines. We work small and stay accountable: no subcontractors, no agency layers, just direct collaboration with the people doing the work. And we connect you with the voter contact team we trust to run it at scale.

Frequently asked

Do your texts and calls actually get through?
Deliverability is the core of a professional program. Numbers are provisioned and managed to stay in good standing, scripts are written to read like a person rather than a blast, and sends are paced to avoid carrier filtering. No program can promise a connect rate, but it's the difference between a list that gets screened out and one that reaches people.
Is this compliant with calling and texting laws?
Yes. Programs follow TCPA and platform rules, honor opt-outs automatically, and use the appropriate dialing method for the contact type. We'll walk through compliance specifics for your state and race on the call.
Where does the voter data come from?
We can work from your existing voter file, or help source and clean a targeted list. Either way, the universe is built around the voters who actually move your race.
What's the smallest race you'll work with?
From local and municipal races up through statewide. Tell us your office and we'll let you know what makes sense for your stage and budget.

This isn't a tool you learn. It's a team that delivers.

No software to set up, no volunteers to wrangle, no learning curve. You tell us about your race, we run the contact, you get reporting that ties every text and call back to your numbers.
