We started our mail shop in 2002 and I got a lot of advice from other consultants and people in politics that you can not have political firm outside of the DC/NOVA area or at the very least a big city.
Our main office is in Granger Indiana, population 28,000. A place where "traffic" means getting stuck at an intersection waiting for one of the many trains that cross our area or that it is a Notre Dame Football weekend when as many as 100,000 people will descend on us. We live in the South Bend media market which is the 85th largest in the country.
Local news is often a mixed bag and most of the reporters are new. The upside is that it does not take much to be interviewed and be the focus of a story. Our local FOX affiliate wanted to do a story on the Iowa Caucuses with a local tie-in so they interviewed me. The reporter got most of what I said but still a little rough around the edges...and I was having a bad hair day. Check it out here .
