MayorSlay.com
Swing State Media has worked closely with Mayor Francis Slay's communications team since his first re-election campaign in 2005. Over this time, we have built his campaign website into a vital source for information and engagement in the City of St. Louis.
The website is unique for political sites in that it includes a weekly poll, photo and video features, and even a comic strip. More importantly, the website serves as an outlet for the Mayor to speak out on non-official topics, as well as to amplify his message as a cheerleader for his City.
The campaign's email list has grown dramatically since we began this effort, and we have incorporated new online trends that have emerged over time, including a prominent use of social media
We believe this website has shown the strong case for campaigns to maintain a strong and compelling web presence between elections.
CitizensforaStrongerStLouis.com
In November 2010, Missouri voters forced the cities of Kansas City and St. Louis to hold elections to reaffirm their local earnings taxes. Swing State Media was successfully led the online campaign in the City of St. Louis. Nearly 90% of St. Louis voters supported retaining the earnings tax.
Rather than attempting to scare St. Louis voters, we instead opted to go positive, presenting this vote as a chance to “Keep St. Louis Moving Forward.” The campaign merged email, Twitter, and Facebook to help build online grassroots support.
Our online yard sign registration system succeeded in getting hundreds of signs delivered to supporters, and the media picked up the positive “Vote Yes on E!” message.

ProtectJustice.org
Swing State Media was hired to orchestrate an online grassroots campaign (Missourians for Fair and Impartial Courts) to stop the Missouri General Assembly from politicizing the state's impartial selection system for judges.
We built an online system enabling the public to directly email their legislators, telling them to vote against specific bills as measures moved through a Republican dominated House and Senate.
Our efforts succeeded in generating hundreds of emails which convinced enough Republicans to vote against their own leadership and to defeat the measures, preserving the Missouri System which has been a model for states across the country.
ElectJeffHarris.com
Swing State Media worked hard to help an underdog candidate for Missouri Attorney General compete in a tough three-way primary.
Jeff Harris's campaign faced challenges from a Republican turned Democrat with wealthy donors, and a popular and self-funding candidate from St. Louis. While we didn't win this race, we were proud of our work to help a good candidate try to level the playing field against long odds.
As part of our work, we shot and produced a web video for Harris's campaign which raised more than $40,000 for his campaign in a single week. Our campaign was noted for being among the most innovative and creative online campaigns the state had ever seen.

BartforSMSB.com
Swing State Media was asked by some consulting partners to join their efforts in helping a teacher and former principal Bart Altenbernd win a campaign in a suburban Kansas school board race. Bart finished second by only 700 votes in a hotly contested three-way general election campaign.
The typical Shawnee Mission school board campaign's budget has averaged just over $2,000. We built a polished website for his campaign and assembled an email strategy that helped his campaign raise nearly $3,500 for his primary campaign alone. More than half of that came in small donations of $50 or less. We helped his campaign raise another $3,000 for his general election effort.
CindyCarrollWriter.com
Swing State Media jumped at the chance to help professional writer Cindy Carroll design a website for her small business. Because of her writing background, we wanted to let her words carry the page.
While many of our sites utilize our own custom content management systems, we built Cindy's using Word Press and a custom template. This will allow her to update her site regularly so she can add new testimonials and of course new samples of her outstanding writing.
