Political clipping

Political clipping for campaigns Governor, mayor and other elections, cut into clips and posted across thousands of accounts.

We have helped candidates running for governor, for mayor and in other elections get their message out through clipping. Their speeches, debates and interviews are cut into short clips and posted by creators across thousands of accounts. Their policies get mentioned in feeds the campaign does not own.

The map

Election night, for clips

Pick a race and tap any state. The camera flies in to the area the brief names, a whole state, one city or a few districts, and you watch the posts go up on creator accounts there.

  1. Pick a race
  2. Tap a state, or choose one
  3. Watch the posts go up
Illustration

An illustration of how a brief aims clips across a map, not campaign data. Capitals, largest cities (2020 census) and U.S. House seats (2020 apportionment) are real.

One speech, debate or interview becomes many short clips, and each clip carries one point. Thousands of accounts post them, each with an audience of its own. Every clip is reviewed before it posts, carries the disclosure counsel writes, and comes down if it is wrong.

The ballot

Every race on the ballot, cut for the feed

Governor and mayor sit at the top, but most of a ballot is further down. The same desk can cut for the races below them, and each brief is sized to the area that race covers: a state, a city, a county or a single district.

Rating as listed on Clutch on 11 September 2026. The two campaigns are the ones we can name in public. Everything else stays private until the campaign signs off, and we publish no view totals for either. Work for brands outside politics is on the case studies page.

The cut

From one tape to every feed

Campaigns sit on hours of footage nobody watches. The desk finds the moments that make one point each, cuts them vertical, captions them for the sound-off scroll and puts counsel's disclosure on before anything posts.

What the desk cuts from

  • Debates
  • Town halls
  • Rallies
  • Press conferences
  • Interviews
  • Podcast and radio appearances
  • Street interviews
  • Ads the campaign already made

Unscripted moments travel furthest: an answer to a real question, a line the room reacts to, a voter saying it in their own words. One tape usually holds more of them than anyone expects.

Timing

When to start: the campaign calendar

Clips work best when the feeds already know the name. Drag through a campaign year to see what the desk cuts at each stage, from the announcement to election night.

180days to election day
  1. Launch

    A year to six months out

    The announcement and the first interviews. Clips that introduce the candidate to feeds that have never seen them, so the name is familiar before anyone asks for a vote.

  2. Primary

    Six to four months out

    Forums and primary debates. Clips on the issues that decide a primary, aimed at the district or the state the primary covers.

  3. Debates

    Four to two months out

    Debate night, cut the same night. The answer that lands is on creator accounts before the next morning's coverage.

  4. Early voting

    The last two months

    Mail ballots go out and early voting opens. Policy clips run next to how and where to vote, in the candidate's own words.

  5. Final push

    The last two weeks

    Get out the vote. Rally clips and reminders every day, aimed at the places the brief names.

  6. Election day

    The day itself

    Polls-open reminders in the morning, then the night's speech, clipped while people are still up.

A typical calendar, not a rule. Primary dates, early voting and mail ballots differ by state, and the brief follows yours.

The process

How the work runs

  1. You send the tapeA speech, a debate, a rally, a town hall or an interview.
  2. We cut the momentsShort vertical clips, one point each, captioned for the sound-off scroll.
  3. Counsel's line goes onThe disclosure is on the cut before anything posts. A clip that cannot carry it stays down.
  4. Creators postThousands of accounts on the apps the brief allows, reported on a live board.

Nonpartisan. The desk runs for campaigns, committees and public figures, not for a party. Every candidate gets the same process.

Questions

About the campaign work

What is political clipping?

Taking video a campaign already has, like a speech, a debate or a street interview, cutting it into short clips, and posting them through creators on the apps the brief allows.

Which races have you worked on?

Candidates running for governor, for mayor and in other elections. The two campaigns we name in public are Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles and Haley Stevens in Michigan.

How many accounts post the clips?

Thousands. The Lumina network is 62,900+ creators in total, and a political brief only goes to the creators and platforms that brief allows.

Do you publish view numbers for these campaigns?

No. View totals stay private until the campaign and the desk agree a number can go public.

Do you work for one party?

No. The desk is nonpartisan. The brief is the campaign's.

What footage works best for clipping?

Anything where the candidate answers a real question: debates, town halls, rallies, press conferences, podcast and radio appearances, and street interviews like the ones on this page.

When should a campaign start clipping?

As soon as there is tape. Clips from the announcement and the primary put the candidate in the feeds early, so by the general election the name is already familiar there.

What does a clip look like when it posts?

Vertical, 9:16, captioned for the sound-off scroll, one point per clip, with the disclosure counsel writes on the cut. It posts from a creator's own account, not the campaign's.
