About Us
Amplifire Strategies is a public affairs firm that has expertise in paid media, digital strategy and communications. The firm is led by a team of strategists who’ve had successful careers in politics and government. Now, they translate and leverage their experience in the political arena to help solve some of the most complex problems on behalf of businesses, non-profits, and advocacy organizations.
We take a campaign-inspired approach to organization’s business goals, reputation management, and policy priorities. From development to implementation, we help drive and amplify the message necessary to persuade, mobilize and inspire our clients’ target audiences – and succeed.

These will most often be short videos and graphics for social media and paid media. Additionally, work may include brand identity, print ads, marketing collateral, logos, motion graphics, copywriting, script writing, and more.
We want someone who is hungry to grow, because we are. We get that you’re not going to be an expert on everything we’re asking for – but we will give you the freedom and opportunity to learn and grow. We want you to contribute to the team in more ways than just making creative. We want you to be comfortable giving ideas even if they’re outside your lane.
