First Tuesday Strategies was proud to bring home three Gold Pollie Awards at the 2026 Pollie Awards, one of the most respected recognitions in political communications.
Often referred to as the Oscars of political advertising, the Pollie Awards honor the most effective and impactful campaign work from across the country. This year, First Tuesday Strategies’ work was recognized across multiple disciplines—creative execution and campaign strategy alike.
The firm received top honors in the following categories:
Together, the awards reflect a core principle that has long guided the firm’s work: campaigns succeed when message, medium, and execution are aligned with a clear objective.
The winning yard sign and door hanger entries demonstrated the continued importance of direct, tangible voter contact. In an increasingly digital environment, these pieces stood out for their clarity, design, and ability to communicate quickly and effectively at the point of decision—whether in a front yard or at a front door.
At the same time, the award for Best Campaign Plan recognized the strategic foundation behind successful campaigns. That work, developed as part of a municipal race in Florence, South Carolina, showcased how disciplined planning, locally grounded messaging, and consistent voter engagement can overcome challenging political conditions and deliver decisive results.
While each award reflects a different aspect of campaign execution, together they tell a broader story.
Winning campaigns are not built on any single tactic. They are the product of careful planning, clear communication, and a relentless focus on the voter.
At First Tuesday Strategies, that approach remains constant. From concept to execution, the firm prioritizes what matters most—developing campaigns that are not only well-crafted, but effective where it counts.
Because in the end, recognition is appreciated.
But results are what matter.
