2026 CampaignTech Awards · Engineering Team of the Year

Four engineers built everything on this page.

Every tool a campaign touches below, from the poll to the text in the voter's pocket, was built in house by this team. Then they made all of it simple enough that the user never sees how hard it was.

Question 1

What do people think?

Built by this team: the polling engine and its dashboards

Our own polling engine fields the survey. Interactive dashboards put the results in front of the client right away, so nobody has to dig through a PDF of crosstabs.

Fielded the same day the questionnaire is final. Results within 48 hours.

Question 2

Who do we need to reach?

Built by this team: the modeling platform

Our modeling platform carries what the poll learned across the whole voter file. Campaigns build their own audience, see the universe count change as they go, and pull the contact list from the same place.

Every voter in the file, scored. Campaigns build precise audiences, see the live count and pull the contact list in one place.
Question 3

What should we say to them?

Built by this team: Audience Builder and message guidance

The same tools show which messages matter most to the voters in each audience. The research and the targeting stay connected, so the message is chosen for the people who will actually get it.

Group Profiles: three modeled groups with voter counts, who they are, and the recommended play
Audience Builder, Lists view: downloadable contact lists by group and channel
Question 4

How do we reach them?

Built by this team: co/nnect and the outreach tools below

The same data that tells us who to reach tells us how to reach them: which channel, which message and which moment will actually move each voter. We put it to work through co/nnect, our own texting platform, along with live calls, digital and Action Advocacy. Every reply comes back in and sharpens the next contact.

Every channel, one voter file. The data shows which channel reaches each audience best, so every contact goes where it will count.

Question 5

What's working, and what's next?

Built by this team: co/nnect Reply Tags

The results tell the campaign what to do next: sharpen the message, rebuild an audience, shift to a different channel or go back into the field. Then the loop runs again, starting from what this round learned.

Every round starts from what the last one learned. Measuring the work is how the next poll, audience and message get sharper.

The engineering underneath.

The parts of the work that don't show up in a demo, but make everything above fast, safe and affordable.

PLACEHOLDER: screen recording of a dashboard edited by request (Karl / Alex)
AI editor inside the engine

Researchers edit a finished dashboard by asking for the change: shorten the labels, rearrange the pages, split one page into three. Several people can now edit at once.

PLACEHOLDER: screenshot of the co/nnect list import preview or message builder (from Walker)
co/nnect, before anything sends

Before a list is imported, it shows how many contacts are sendable, opted out or invalid. It counts SMS segments and estimates cost, even as personalization changes message length.

PLACEHOLDER: screenshot of the pause screen or Slack alert (from Walker)
Safeguards

When certain sending problems appear, co/nnect pauses the campaign, alerts the team in Slack and waits for a human to decide.

PLACEHOLDER: simple architecture diagram (Walker to confirm)
Data-lake architecture

Every message ever sent stays reachable without paying to keep it all in live storage, built for scale, lower cost and resilience.

Action Advocacy

An advocacy generator: from issue to message sent in four steps. It creates pages, trackers and client-specific applications in minutes. Demonstration page, fictional issue.

Four engineers. The scope of several vendors. None of the complexity reaches the user.

Because this team builds the tools, co/efficient controls the speed, the cost and the quality. Better, faster, cheaper, because we built it ourselves.
