Activations Where Culture Changed The Outcome

Photos and video from recent programs are being added — reach out for the full portfolio and case study deck.

Selected Programs

Rallies, Concerts, Campuses, And Creator Cohorts

GOTV Cultural Activation

Florida CD 1 & 6 Artist Deployment

Urban musical artists including 2 Chainz deployed across two congressional districts with rallies, concerts, and meet-and-greets coupled with GOTV, field operations, Souls to the Polls, and Rides to the Polls. Black voter turnout increased, one county turned blue for the first time in two decades, and the partisan margin narrowed by half.

Large-Scale Cultural Programming

March On Washington 50th Anniversary

Talent lineup including Ludacris and celebrity DJ A-One elevated a commemoration into a civic movement, alongside Martin Luther King III and Dr. Bernice King — plus rapid-response mobilization of thousands after a last-minute venue change to historic Auburn Avenue.

Nonpartisan Campus Turnout

Bethune-Cookman University Campus Initiative

A nonpartisan voter turnout initiative bringing Tink, Ray J, and Pleasure P directly to campus for performances and student engagement that made civic participation exciting, relevant, and personal.

Field Integration

Souls & Rides To The Polls

Community transportation and faith-partner programming built around cultural events so enthusiasm converted directly into ballots cast.

Digital Advocacy

Creator Content Programs

Micro-influencer cohorts producing authentic, platform-native content for advocacy pushes, backed by briefs, toolkits, and performance reporting.

Cultural Leader Engagement

Surrogate & Panel Programming

Streamed panels and surrogate appearances that pair cultural leaders with policy experts to reach audiences traditional programming misses.

Client Testimonials

What Partners Say About Working With Us

“We have had massive uptakes in voting from yesterday's concert — a ton of people mentioned the event and then went to vote. The event helped flip one of the reddest counties in the state. Thank you guys so much.”

“Chris Smith played a central and transformative role in helping March On deliver the largest cultural activation in history commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. They operate at the intersection of culture, community, and civic engagement with unmatched vision and integrity.”

Andi Pringle

Founding Partner, Apollo Messaging

Former Political Director, March On

“Their cultural strategy was nothing short of transformational. Vote Influencers created an inclusive, energizing environment where the importance of voting was celebrated, not lectured. They helped us turn civic action into a campus-wide cultural moment.”

Asst. Director of Student Organizations, Bethune-Cookman University
