It’s a strange time to launch a new organization.
We considered postponing our plans to tell our friends and allies about The Action Factory. But, politics and advocacy do not stop during this public health crisis, and neither does the support needed by organizations doing important work during this unprecedented moment in history.
So, before we get started, we want to say we hope you and your family are safe, well, and doing the best you can to make the most of right now. Thanks for reading and continuing to do what you do!
Our team is proud to announce the formation of The Action Factory – an organizational support and digital fundraising firm dedicated to building power for ballot campaigns, candidates, and causes.
The firm was founded by Miles Baker, Amelia Quilon, and Joel Bryson after our collaborative work with nonprofits, PACs, and candidates. During our work together, we realized more clients needed holistic approaches to designing campaigns and programs in order to raise resources to build their organization’s reach and influence.
Our team focuses on the fundamentals to make sure your cause is viable, effective, and will ultimately win.

Raise the Resources: Action Factory will help you build a powerful digital fundraising program so you can raise the resources needed to advance the mission of your organization or campaign. We can develop an integrated digital program, train your staff on the best fundraising practices, and build programs that walk your biggest supporters through multi-step ladders of engagement.
Deploy Data to Win: Whether it’s email fundraising, voter targeting, or building coalitions – foundations for success are built on the data and knowledge at your disposal. Action Factory will make sure your cause has access to the data needed for success and the practices to incorporate data practices to achieve your goals.
Creativity and Social Science: We test, iterate, & evaluate. Campaigns and advocacy are executed best when grounded in the knowledge of successful efforts and intentionally learning lessons along the way. Action Factory will help your organization ask the right questions and set up practices to incorporate new lessons as you go forward.
We want to share this exciting development with you today in case you know an organization, ballot campaign, or candidate that could use our help.
The firm started in January and we have hit the ground running, working with national and state-based nonprofits as well as political candidates across the country.
Based in Chicago, we have a unique vantage point to be able to help clients from coast to coast. As the political season kicks into high-gear, we are looking forward to talking more about how we can help you achieve your goals.
From the whole team at The Action Factory, thanks for taking the time to join in our announcement.
