Professional Political Fundraising
Gaining the maximum revenue from campaign donors requires strategy and execution.
Before Oblander Group clients make their first fundraising solicitation, we provide candidates and staff with the training and tools needed to be successful. We also provide live coaching and feedback to ensure that each fundraising call gains the maximum support a donor can offer.
For over 25 years, The Oblander Group has delivered results for federal, state, and municipal candidates across the United States. We’ve raised funds for campaigns that range from presidential to school boardmembers.
The Oblander Group serves Democratic Party candidates as well as select candidates running in non-partisan elections. We also provide fundraising services for select propositions and ballot initiatives.
Campaign Branding and Digital Services
Winning campaigns establish a strong brand identity while developing a robust digital presence to connect with donors and voters. A consistent brand and core messaging are half the battle—a robust digital component conveys that brand and message so that it resonates with supporters and potential donors.
The Oblander Group’s digital services team’s capabilities include:
- Branding and Design
- Website Design and Development
- Social Media Management
- Email Marketing
We’re Not for Everyone.
There’s a Reason for That.
The Oblander Group is selective. We turn away more candidates than we take on. While we don’t expect a candidate’s policies and positions to be a 100% match of our own political views, we do expect there to be far more common ground than differences if we’re to work together.
From a young age, Kristin Oblander was driven by a desire to work to support the causes she believed in. She saw those causes gaining support from Democrats. Having no desire to run for office herself, she instead got involved by working on local Democratic candidate campaigns as her means to effect positive change.
A Georgia Tech graduate, Kristin soon found that her project management skills were ideally suited for planning, managing, and executing political fundraising outreach and events. Eschewing a corporate career and high income after graduation, Kristin instead chose to work as the fundraiser on a series of local political campaigns.
As she delivered unheard of fundraising results to these campaigns, she realized that she could broaden the impact of her work by opening her own shop. In so doing, she could enhance her impact by working with multiple candidates and campaigns.
