Getting Started
What is SpeakEasy Political?
SpeakEasy Political is a self-service platform that allows campaigns to use professionally-designed, pre-built templates to quickly and easily produce persuasive digital media and direct mail.
What services does SpeakEasy Political offer?
SpeakEasy Political supports campaigns of all sizes to quickly create, produce, and place high-quality digital media and high-impact direct mail. By using the SpeakEasy Political platform, your campaign has full access to best-in-class voter data to reach your target audiences.
We are a self-service platform, meaning we do not offer full-service consulting through our website. If you are interested in discussing our managed service offerings, we’d love to hear from you! Please send an email to: [email protected] and someone from our team will be in touch with you shortly.
Who runs SpeakEasy Political?
SpeakEasy Political was founded in 2015 by Bergen Kenny, Danielle Winterhalter and Eric Jaye. These three have a combined 60 years of experience in Democratic politics, working with campaigns and candidates up and down the ballot. Since 2015, the SpeakEasy team has grown to include a team of consultants, media buyers, graphic designers, and customer success specialists who are standing by to help make your direct mail or digital media campaigns a success. Learn more about the team here.
Where is SpeakEasy Political based?
SpeakEasy Political is based in San Francisco, CA with a secondary office in Washington, DC. However, our customer success team is located throughout North America, making them available to support you across multiple time zones.
I’d love to learn more. How do I get in touch with SpeakEasy Political?

I’m interested in running a larger program (for example, member-to-member communication across multiple states or channels). Can you help me with that?

How much do your services cost?
SpeakEasy Political helps you lower the cost of your mail and digital media by removing many of the “fixed” costs that most political consultants charge, such as retainer fees or design charges. SpeakEasy also negotiates substantial volume discounts that most small and medium-sized campaigns would be otherwise unable to access. For more detailed information on our mail and digital pricing, please visit our pricing page.

Is your product available on mobile devices or tablets?
SpeakEasy’s template builder is designed for desktop computers or laptops. It will not function optimally on mobile devices or tablets.
Can SpeakEasy help me build a campaign website?
SpeakEasy is not able to assist in building campaign websites. However, we can recommend Wix or SquareSpace as easy-to-use self-service platforms if you’re looking to build your own website.
Before I commit to running all of my campaign ads with SpeakEasy, is there a free trial offered or any promotions to see how well it can work for my campaign?
Many SpeakEasy customers test out the platform with a small digital buy or one mail piece before they launch a larger program. Also, it is completely free to browse the templates, so we invite you to make an account and test out the various functionalities of the site to see if it is the right fit for you and your campaign.
Does SpeakEasy work with Republicans?
SpeakEasy Political only places media in support of Democrats or non-partisan candidates.
