Question: How are you going to identify your opponent’s vulnerabilities to use in paid and earned media campaigns?

Answer: America Rising can provide your organization with comprehensive research support on your targeted opponent, starting with a research book that includes a comprehensive examination of each target’s public and video record. America Rising operates a public records program that annually obtains tens of thousands of records about Democrats from federal, state, and local government agencies. This research will provide your organization with a full understanding of the individual’s financial, political, and legal vulnerabilities, following a full review of relevant documents, disclosures, and records.

Rapid Response & War Room Monitoring

Question: How will your organization stay on top of the 24/7 news cycle and be ready to respond quickly?

Our rapid response effort includes constant print, online, and television media monitoring, rapid response alerts, and strategic guidance for clients to take advantage of day-to-day opportunities in the moment. America Rising uses a revolutionary online portal, the America Rising Console, to help clients make real time decisions about their political and issue-based campaign efforts.

Video Tracking

Question: How will you effectively obtain and search video content of your opponent?

Answer: America Rising’s trackers are your eyes and ears on the ground, increasing your situational awareness and providing you with the content you need to push back.

The amount of video content and trackers on the ground is unmatched in the field. All of the video is evaluated by research analysts with expertise in that candidate’s record and catalogued in a text-searchable database where archived footage can be quickly accessed.
