What Others Say


"These people know what they're doing. We lost a pay raise campaign a few years earlier because our organization thought it could run a campaign without help. But in 2002, both the Shreveport police and fire unions interviewed political consulting firms from all over, and in the end we chose Media & Political Strategies (Free State Media Group) because they completely understood our issue."

Marketing Tips


Direct Mail is still the most dependable marketing tool


Even though the costs of postage and printing have increased in recent years, businesses and organizations still get more return on their investment by choosing direct mail over other forms of advertising. In these days of fast-moving information, we're all competing for the attention of customers who have less attention to spare. Surveys show that most adults are still more likely to read mail addressed to them than they are to respond to other forms of comunication.

 

Direct Mail produced by Free State Media Group has made a difference in many campaigns over the years. Let's talk about how we can work within your budget to help you achieve your goals.

Political Campaigns

The media and political strategy of a campaign begins long before the candidate or issue makes the local news. Free State consultants understand when to run, when to start raising money and when to begin political communication with the voters.

 

Professional associations, candidates, and grassroots organizations often begin their campaign without realizing they have telegraphed a message and their next move without even intending it. Our professional cosulting team begins by helping you decide whether or not this is the right time for a campaign.

 

By sizing up your chances, looking at the realistic prospects of raising money, using the free press and setting up a campaign structure, Free State Media Group brings the experience, knowledge and creativity to help you cross the finish line.
