Vote.org: GOTV social & influencer campaign reaching millions

Role: Creative strategy for Vote.org’s 2020 “Get Out the Vote” social media toolkit, designed for nonpartisan reach, engagement, and voter participation during one of the most high-stakes U.S. election cycles.

Context & stakes: In 2020, the U.S. presidential election faced record polarization, voter misinformation, and unprecedented pandemic-related voting challenges. Vote.org, a leading nonpartisan voter engagement platform, needed a scalable way to mobilize younger, digitally native audiences across social platforms without diluting its trusted, unbiased voice.

Approach:

  • Developed a shareable, creator-friendly social toolkit with GIFs, graphics, captions, and stories optimized for Instagram, Twitter (now X), and TikTok

  • Partnered with influencers and brands to amplify messaging to millions of followers organically

  • Built distribution workflows to make adoption frictionless for creators and organizations

  • Coordinated rollout around key election dates to drive voter registration, education, and turnout

  • Maintained nonpartisan positioning while still feeling culturally relevant and platform-native

Impact:

  • 40M+ impressions across channels

  • 108M GIF views from toolkit assets

  • 1,200% growth in Instagram following during campaign period

  • Expanded Vote.org’s social media reach and engagement for future election cycles

  • Provided a repeatable, ready-to-use GOTV toolkit for the team to update and partners to use in subsequent elections

  • Full 2020 impact report

Team: Partnered with Maxwell Billings, 18 Coffees (consulting group) and Vote.org’s GOTV team.
