Delivering Strategic Messaging
2018 & 2019 Pollie Award-Winning Mail
In a local race, a direct mail program accounts for a significant part of a campaign's budget. Your mail deserves to break through the clutter. We specialize in mail that integrates polling and messaging with creative content. Our creative images are ready made for social media outreach.
Over the last two years, we have received top Pollie Awards from our peers at the American Association of Political Consultants.
- Our "No Time to Downsize" production earned a 2018 Silver Pollie-Overall Ballot Initiative: Best Direct Mail Campaign.
- "The Cats of Maywood" took home a 2019 Gold Pollie-Overall Candidate: Best Direct Mail Campaign (Dem); 2019 Silver Pollie-Overall Candidate: Best Use of Opposition Research (Dem); 2019 Bronze-Direct Mail Independent Expenditure Campaign-Local/Municipal/Regional.
Comments from Pollie Judges:
"Inventive and Breakthrough."
"The cartoon ads are nicely done, and catch the eye. The message is clear and concise. A high production value too. Good Job!"
"This is Excellent! It is Pollie worthy."
And on Twitter , our CA Primary 2020 "Take the Godfrey Good Government Quiz" mailer received the ultimate compliment Tweet "I'm actually stunned by how clever this campaign mailer is. @GodfreyPlata gets points for creativity."
Using Social Media to Target Voters
The 2016 Russian election-meddling scandal proved you could reach 126 million voters with $100,000 worth of FB ads. We produce video, audio and images that Social Media users want to like and share. We boost name recognition and support for candidates & issues---and we’re Americans.

"Cats of Maywood"-Winner of three 2019 Pollie awards
Cats of Maywood Volume 1 (front and back sides)
Laborers Local 300 asked us to help elect their reform slate for City Council in scandal plagued Maywood, California. Our team came up with a series of comics to highlight the corruption. Voters responded and elected our slate on November 6, 2018. The dimensions of The Cats of Maywood four volume series are 11 x 17 one fold. This image is of the front and back sides of Volume 1. In this series, with the exception of the Volume number, the front and back remained the same. To view full images, go to https://greenalleystrategies.com/direct-mail
Cats of Maywood Volume 1 (centerfold)
Volume 1 looks at the DA's raid of city hall, a garbage crisis and the mayor's conviction on animal cruelty.
Cats of Maywood Volume 2 (centerfold)
Volume 2 points out the absurdity of the city allocating Bingo profits to a clown, a whopping $15 million debt and hiring a pal of the mayor, with no experience, to be city manager.
Cats of Maywood Volume 3 (centerfold)
The saga of corruption continues in Volume 3. The link of corruption to the $15 million debt, thirteen city contractors under investigation, and the DA's seizure of evidence at city hall.
Cats of Maywood Volume 4 (centerfold)
Volume 4 features a City Council Member resigning in a plea deal, the ex-City Manager-pal of mayor-facing sexual harassment charges, and the mayor blaming his animal abuse conviction on a political witch hunt. We are not making any of this up!
