Digital Grassroots Competitors

We’re bold. We’re brave. We’re unstoppable. GMMB is an agency on a mission: to cause the effect. We come from diverse backgrounds—political campaigns, nonprofits, creative agencies and the media—but the one thing we all have in common is our drive to create real, meaningful change. Whether we’re focused on getting kids healthier, improving schools, advancing laws or electing progressive leaders, we’re not in this business to sell products. We’re here to spread ideas that will transform our world into a better, kinder, fairer place. Since 1983, our agency has tackled a broad range of issues, including environmental protection, community service, education and health reform. We’ve helped elect presidents at home and abroad, fought for stricter regulations on tobacco and drunk driving, and united children in foster care with their forever families. And we’ve built an impressive client base that shares our passion for doing work that matters. Creating real and lasting change in the world: It’s what we do. Are you with us?

At Fenton, we are communications strategists for social change. Our clients are the nonprofits, foundations, advocates and brands championing today’s important progressive issues. Fenton helps clients achieve their goals by raising awareness that sparks movements, changes behavior, and generates support for a more just, equitable and sustainable world. Our experts combine tactical experience and creative ingenuity with a deep well of passion and energy. Our strategic work shapes national health care policy, combats voter suppression, protects reproductive rights, promotes racial equity, works for a fairer education system, expands economic opportunity, demands climate action and much more.

We believe there’s no force more powerful than people taking collective action on the things they care about. When an organization wants to mobilize people around a common purpose, they come to us. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we know where to find them: in people. We listen, learn, and uncover new insights that often surprise us and our clients — and move us toward better results. Blue State got its start on the campaign trail, pioneering the use of digital to open up the democratic process. Our new approach caught on, and we set out to do more good: raising millions more for nonprofits, shaping legislation and public opinion, and connecting consumers with brands. While our approach is continually evolving, our ethos has never changed: Make good trouble. When the status quo stands in the way of progress, we challenge it. Be curious. We ask the tough questions and let the data lead to answers. Put people first. We let the user drive the program, not the other way around. Drive real change. We obsess over outcomes and actions. If you need it, build it. We make stuff that empowers people to act on the things they care about. Walk the walk. Progress starts with us: our diversity, inclusion, and commitment to values over profits.
