POLITICAL STRATEGIST

I have sat where you are sitting

Two terms on Vancouver city council. A provincial run. Years inside campaigns as the strategist who builds the message and gets it heard. I know that winning is not about the loudest voice. It is about the clearest one, aimed at the right people, repeated until it lands.

WHAT I DO

Strategy, message, and the discipline to stay on it

Campaign strategy

Where the votes are, what moves them, and how to spend a finite budget to reach them. The same data-driven thinking I bring to business, applied to a ballot.

Message and positioning

What you stand for in a sentence a voter remembers, and the discipline to keep saying it when everyone around you wants to chase the issue of the day.

Media training

I spent nine years as a CBC host and journalist, then two terms on the other side of the microphone. I know how the interview works from both chairs, and I can get you ready for the one that matters.

Digital and advertising

Modern campaigns are won in the feed as much as on the doorstep. I bring an agency's worth of advertising firepower to candidates who need to punch above their budget.

CREDIBILITY

Agency of record for winning campaigns

Curve has been the agency of record for multiple campaigns, several of which I am not at liberty to name. That discretion is the point. Serious campaigns need a strategist who keeps their counsel, and references who are happy to speak privately.

WHEREMY POLITICS LIVE

Campaign University and Accountability Vancouver

Campaign University

Where I teach the craft of running and winning, for first-time candidates and seasoned operators alike.

Accountability Vancouver

A citizens' coalition I founded that asks the simple questions City Hall would rather dodge. Not left, not right, just answers.

Thinking about a run, or running one already?

Let's have a quiet conversation. Tell me what you are working on
and I will tell you, honestly, whether and how I can help.

Helping small businesses win customers

and campaigns win votes, from

Vancouver, BC.
