Patrick Ruffini Email & Phone Number

After more than a decade at the intersection of digital media and political advocacy, I recently co-founded Echelon Insights to bring digital thinking and accountability to fix how organizations communicate with and engage people offline. We're innovating new ways to measure audiences -- finally closing the loop between traditional polling, predictive modeling, and social data. We're also investing in analytics technology infrastructure to model audiences and measure media across channels, optimizing message delivery in real time. I also serve as the chairman of Engage, a digital agency I founded in 2007. We've built digital platforms for Presidential candidates, national and international political parties, corporations, advocacy organizations, and elected officials. We were also early to the party when it came to building technology platforms to help clients organize online -- from CRM tools to online fundraising to Facebook social targeting. If a great solution already exists, we use it. If it doesn't, we build it. All of this came after experiences running digital and technology for the Republican National Committee in 2006 and as part of the first full-fledged digital department on a Republican Presidential campaign on Bush-Cheney '04. It's great to finally start seeing more people "getting it" when it comes to tech & politics and it's exciting to see technology starting to change offline things for the better -- from how we campaign to how we govern.
