About Us:
Turn It Blue Digital (www.turnitbluedigital.com) — Named the Democratic Party's 'Best New Firm' by Campaigns & Elections Magazine at the 2020 Reed Awards — offers a specialized suite of straightforward digital toolkits, designed for progressive candidates running for state and local office. We know it all too well: Running for office is hard. It takes guts and perseverance. But it's incredibly important. Turn It Blue grew out of a stinging desire to fight back.

Proudly progressive, we pour our hearts and souls into candidates and causes we care deeply for. Across both the Boulder Strategies and the Turn It Blue business units, our tightly-knit team jointly serves a growing group of highly-valued clients, constantly striving to amplify their messages and empower their campaigns to impress and convert in a beautiful way! If this sounds like something that excites you, we'd love to talk.
