Middle Seat was an incredible partner throughout the entire IE. They helped deliver Zohran’s message in powerful, high-impact creative that resonated deeply with voters. The ads they produced were creative, polished, and data-driven — we saw in the testing how their ads moved Black women in the primary, and Black and Latino men in the general. They navigated placement strategy artfully when our budget was just $200k and scaled up to over $1.7m by the end of the campaign. We couldn’t have asked for a better team.

The Biden campaign knew that we couldn’t win without a team who knew how to handle unprecedented grassroots energy — and channel that energy into action. Middle Seat was our first call. Their team built a program that met the moment — handling a scale unheard of in campaign history — and they did it with creativity, high standards, and unparalleled nimbleness. Our supporters were our key to success, and Middle Seat’s team was key to finding and engaging them wherever they were online.

Middle Seat has been an invaluable partner for Justice Democrats during one of the most pivotal moments in our movement’s history. Their expertise across email, ads, and texting was critical for our fundraising efforts and rallying our grassroots supporters when we needed them most. They not only helped us raise over $2 million for our organization, they also helped us raise almost $475k directly into our candidates’ campaigns so we could fight back against powerful corporate interests like AIPAC this cycle. Together, we were able to stand up to corporate super PACs and prove that people power can drive real change.

Executive Director, Justice Democrats

Working with Middle Seat has allowed us to take our organizing and advocacy to the next level. In just over a year, they’ve helped to grow the size of our email list several fold which has in turn vastly increased our ability to mobilize supporters to take action. Their strong support for our mission comes through in their professionalism and around-the-clock support.

What stands out to me about Middle Seat is their combination of responsiveness, creativity, and instincts. They have been instrumental in helping Be A Hero raise money and adapt our message for key moments in times of rapid response and longer term campaigns, helping us to be as impactful as possible.

President, Be a Hero

Middle Seat is a standout digital fundraising firm in Democratic politics that any candidate would be lucky to have on their team. They worked tirelessly to build a massive online fundraising program into a juggernaut — without ever compromising the Senator’s authenticity and brand. They were instrumental to the success of our overall digital program, going above and beyond to build our surrogate and partner program and take our content to the next level. Without Middle Seat, the Senator’s race would not have been as close as it was. Their team has the expertise, scrappiness, and grit to run a campaign in a battleground like Pennsylvania, and there’s no one I’d rather run through the tape with.

Tiernan Donohue
Campaign Manager, Bob Casey for Senate

Middle Seat exceeded our expectations, serving as strategic leaders who fully ingrained themselves with every part of our team: fundraising, comms, social, paid media, texting, web + design, video, merchandise, organizing, and so on. The quality of work they provided for our unified TV, radio, CTV, and digital paid media program is unparalleled, and their data-driven approach gave us confidence that we were getting the highest return on investment for every dollar spent.
