What you get
- Recurring intelligence briefings — weekly through election season
- Breakout detection: the story that's about to jump ecosystems
- Narrative histories: when a claim started, who amplified it, how it mutated
Don't be caught off guard. Pink and Blue Strategies watches the attacks on your race as they form, helps you answer them, and checks every word of the answer before it airs.
We watch 88,000+ channels across 20 platforms and tell you what is being said about your race, who is saying it, and how far it is traveling, before it reaches the mainstream.
How it works →Answers built from experience: Ari Drennen is a trans woman who has worked on campaigns and spent years on the disinformation beat. We help you decide what to answer and how, in your candidate's voice.
How it works →Every claim in your response is tied to a primary source before it airs, so nothing you say hands the other side a second story.
How it works →Which states the past seven days of posts were about. Darker means more attention.
Tracking the opposition, opposition research, and rapid response often come from three places: a listening tool, an oppo shop, and whoever on staff has time. Here they're one contract, running on one set of data.
We don't buy ads or run your email and texts. We hand your digital and comms teams what's coming, who's behind it, and what has worked before, in time to use it.
A House race, a statewide campaign, or a ballot measure: the scope follows the stakes and the calendar, through Election Day.
Not ready for a retainer? A fixed-fee audit shows what the monitoring finds on your race before you commit to anything ongoing.
A monitoring system tracking 88,000+ channels across 20 platforms — Twitter/X, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Truth Social, Substack, podcasts, and the rest of the ecosystem where narratives actually start. Every post is scored for engagement, every channel classified by political lean (hand-audited, not just keyword-guessed), so a briefing can say not just what is spreading but whose audiences it's reaching.
Powers weekly electoral intelligence briefings for the Transgender Freedom Alliance through the 2026 cycle, and the story-detection layer for everything else on this page.
Ari Drennen is a trans woman who has worked on campaigns and covered the disinformation beat, including four years as LGBTQ Program Director at Media Matters for America. That experience shapes every response: which attacks need an answer, who should deliver it, and what has held up when the same line ran in other races. Each response is grounded in the record of who is behind the attack, what they have said before, and who pays for it.
Weekly electoral briefings for the Transgender Freedom Alliance through the 2026 cycle, tracking how anti-trans attacks move across the battleground states and how campaigns answer them.
A response ad that gets one fact wrong gives the other side a second story. Before a spot airs, we substantiate it line by line: every claim tied to a primary source, whether that's the vote, the filing, or the quote in its full context, assembled as the backup documentation broadcasters and legal reviewers ask for. When a line can't be sourced, we flag it and offer language that can be.
Ad-claim substantiation for Reproductive Freedom for All (with Spark Solutions), and independent fact-check rounds on every briefing delivered to the Transgender Freedom Alliance.
The monitoring system feeds everything else. Your rapid response knows the story's history; your opposition research starts from everything the other side has already posted. Separate vendors give you separate databases that have never met.
Every capability has a blocking fact-check built in — because in this work, one wrong claim costs more than a year of right ones. Deliverables cite primary sources, and uncertainty is labeled, not buried.
Automation does the watching, sorting, and drafting. People make every judgment call that touches the public: what to say, whether it's true, when to post.
This stack was built lean because it had to be. You get enterprise-class capability without the enterprise contract, and decisions from a principal — not an account manager.
Two fixed-scope engagements, each designed to prove the stack on your issue before you commit to anything ongoing.
A retrospective on how the attacks on your issue actually moved through the 2026 cycle: which ecosystems carried them, which messengers made them travel, which responses held up — built from 1.2 million already-collected posts and tailored to your states and priorities.
Monitoring built around the state legislative calendar, when anti-LGBTQ bills and the narratives behind them move fastest. Know which bills are gaining attention online before they hit the mainstream, and which lines of attack are being road-tested.
