OUR STORY

FROM MARKETING TO WAR ROOMS.

Long Drive Strategy started as the political arm of Long Drive Marketing. What began as managing digital ads for a few local campaigns grew into full-service campaign management, public affairs, and independent polling operations. Today we’re one of three divisions under Long Drive Group, and the only one with a war room.

We’ve managed over 50 campaigns at every level from city council to federal races. We’ve run independent statewide polls published by major media outlets. We’ve built grassroots coalitions, managed crisis communications, and operated rapid response units. We do this because we believe good candidates deserve great strategy.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

OUR PRINCIPLES.

DATA OVER INSTINCT

Gut feelings lose elections. We run our own polls, test our own messages, and let the data make the decisions.

EXECUTION OVER STRATEGY

The best plan in the world is worthless without flawless execution. We build the plan AND run it.

WIN RATE OVER CLIENT COUNT

We take fewer clients so we can give each one everything we’ve got. 87% win rate isn’t an accident.

SELECTED RESULTS

THE PROOF IS IN
THE WIN COLUMN.

Client confidentiality is non-negotiable. We don’t name names. But we show our work.

STATE SENATE • MIDDLE TENNESSEE

12-POINT UNDERDOG TO
ELECTION NIGHT WINNER.

First-time challenger with zero name recognition against a two-term incumbent. We rebuilt the field operation from scratch, deployed $340K in hyper-targeted digital across three platforms, ran weekly tracking polls to adjust messaging in real time, and executed rapid response when opposition research hit in October. Our candidate won by 3.2 points on a night the other side didn’t see coming.

STATEWIDE ISSUE CAMPAIGN • SOUTHEAST

FROM 38% SUPPORT TO
LEGISLATIVE VICTORY IN 6 MONTHS.

A coalition needed to move a policy from minority support to supermajority passage. We designed the polling instrument, identified the persuasion targets, built the grassroots infrastructure, and ran the earned media strategy. Six months of sustained pressure turned 38% baseline support into 71% favorable and a bipartisan floor vote.

CRISIS RESPONSE • FEDERAL CAMPAIGN

OPPOSITION HIT PIECE NEUTRALIZED
IN UNDER 4 HOURS.

48 hours before early voting opened, a coordinated opposition attack dropped across local media and social platforms simultaneously. Our war room detected it within minutes, had counter-messaging live within the hour, and surrogates deployed by noon. Tracking polls showed zero net movement. The attack died on arrival.
