Real Conversations Driving Real Results
Live calling, a longtime specialty of Stones’ Phones, is a peerless tool for political campaigns. In an age where digital communications grow ever more popular, live calling provides a human connection that cannot be replicated through TV, social media, text messaging, or email. Additionally – live calling allows for real-time constituent, voter or member feedback, questions, and concerns, translating into increased voter turnout and support. This effect is amplified through our tried and true scripting methods and carefully trained operators.

Influencer ID Programs
Identifying Influentials is an excellent way to mobilize grassroots advocates. Those who frequently talk politics are known as "Influencers," and are high priority targets for your campaign. For us, voters who talk to 6 or more people and support your campaign are your key targets. Influentials that already support your candidate will become powerful advocates for the campaign when armed with information and access; Undecided Influetials will become a key field and persuasion audience. Once undecided influentials pledge their support, they can become some of the most effective advocates for your campaign.
Yard Sign Asks
Yard Sign Asks go a step beyond identifying supporters by also requesting they display a yard sign. Our operators are trained on capturing relevant information, such as a preferred call-back number or email. This information is passed along to your campaign, making it easy for campaign staff to reconnect with supporters and distribute the yard signs.

BlackPAC Manual TextingThe 2018 midterms were the first big chance for Democrats to push back against the Trump Administration. In Georgia, Democrats had landed a dream congressional candidate, Lucy McBath: an outspoken Black woman whose son was killed by a white man who objected to loud music he was playing with friends in a car. BlackPAC wanted to dramatically increase enthusiasm and turnout from Black voters in her district. We put together a program with four rounds of texts to all Black voters in the district. These texts ranged from encouragement to affect change to info on how to find a polling location. These were sent during the early voting period and the lead up to the general election. For the first time since the 1970s, a Democrat won the district, and did so by a mere 3,000 votes. Proving that every vote, and every text, matters.

George Gascón for L.A. District AttorneyWith George Gascón’s announcement to run for Los Angeles District Attorney, Stones’ Phones developed a targeted text and auto-call program to get him through the 2019 primary. We started the outreach ahead of the primary by using our versatile text capabilities to message Democrats and likely supporters local event invitations, links to a persuasive video profile piece, and notifications on local community leaders’ endorsements. With each text message sent, we were able to track RSVPs, link clicks, as well as those with positive responses throughout the process.
