When lives and careers are at stake, you need a media partner that cares about winning. Telegraph is a firm built on the belief that winning comes first, before ego or making a point. That is how we’ve overcome big money campaigns and seemingly overwhelming odds to create movements, pass legislation and help our clients win.
Every project requires a unique mix of communications tools, knowledge and relationships. Telegraph has the ability to create and implement strategic programs that combine the tools necessary for success. Our work has helped build businesses, create large non-profit organizations, win campaigns and secure labor contracts.
The first step toward victory is a well conceived plan. Telegraph has years of experience in developing innovative strategies that win.
Telegraph provides direct mail, television, online, and strategic consulting services for ballot measures and independent expenditure campaigns.
The winning history of our firm has been driven by our success in developing media connections to grow our clients' exposure.
From idea to launch, we work to collaborate on ideas and see them through to the debut on television, print, radio and online.
