I founded Marsh Strategic Consulting, LLC to give candidates who aren't your typical pipeline candidates an affordable way to run for office. What I learned from my own Senate campaign is that you can't have merit-based candidates if no one can find them - everything becomes about pipeline candidates. Through my consulting work, I use back-end software that helps me integrate the process and streamline everything, giving candidates the affordable option to actually run for office for a nominal fee instead of having to pay $40,000 or $50,000. I offer everything they need - strategy, marketing, social media, everything - all for at most a few thousand dollars for statewide offices, and it's a complete plan for the longevity of the campaign. I know the focus needs to be on getting paid to reach out to the voters, because that is how you win an election, not raising money to pay for someone to give you a plan. I also offer a monthly retainer if candidates want me to continue my service. My main focus is giving strategic analysis that is adaptable and integrates with the longevity of a campaign for candidates who don't have the same political pedigree or pipeline, who forged their own way and just need help to get there. This gives them the ability to have the same adaptive strategy that the machine-funded campaigns have. My goal is getting good candidates in office that actually care about their constituents to improve not just living in North Carolina, but living across the country.
