When Senator Chris Dodd decided that restoring Habeas Corpus and filibustering AT&T's amnesty bill had to be his fight while campaigning for President, Advomatic was able to do what we do best - fit the optimum advocacy tool to the specific political fight and connect the resulting cause campaign with the relevant constituency.

Our AdvoStrategy Department joined with Senator John Edwards to build an online organization tool for offline volunteer action. The One America Committee meets the Peace Corps, One Corps was architected to grow virally and bond users with the Edwards organization thanks to proven social networking techniques from sites like LinkedIn, Meetup and Facebook.

Greenopia™ - the urban dweller's guide to green living - began as a book of eco-friendly retailers, services, and organizations in the Los Angeles area.

Before Advomatic, Air America's website crashed multiple times every day. A revolving carousel of web companies left Air America simultaneously running seven different content management systems on 3 unstable servers.

Our competitors fled the problem of 15 shows, each with their own blogs, mailing lists, audio clips, live audio streams, schedules, station listings, guest lists, and booking information.

Talking Points Memo - Café is one of the most popular political blogs in the country with one of the most active readerships. We migrated TPM-Café off of Scoop after its backend became an unwieldy jungle and rebuilt an attractive CMS.

Advomatic is proud to also host this site that gets tens of thousands of visitors and hundreds of thousands of pageviews. Advomatic excels as a provider for community news sites and other websites where stories and general content are provided by several writers. The use of RSS feeds and aggregators bring other communities "into the fold" and also help spread the word.

An environmental advocacy and educational organization, Bioneers came to Advomatic asking for a dynamic home on the web with several sub-sites under the umbrella of the main site all with an integrated database system. They needed an advanced event registration system which allowed them to register everyone for their annual conference, as well as allow their affiliate organizations and partner groups to register people for their satellite conferences.

They wanted a system where traditional media could be funneled and organized, and where press hits could be generated. They wanted the site to be essentially a more efficient hub for the organization’s entire operation as well as a new tool for outreach and advocacy.

Christine Cegelis is an IT consultant and was the 2004 Democratic candidate for the 6th Congressional district of Illinois. Coming from a career in Information Technology, she knew what she wanted, and naturally she came to Advomatic. Cegelis' 2006 race was a grassroots effort working to overcome a well-funded machine-politics campaign supported by establishment politicians and media. Despite the loss, her supporters say it may be seen as as a populist victory against the established beltway insiders.

Air America Radio referred national columnist Joe Conason to Advomatic.

Joe wanted clean, simple, and to the point.

Advomatic delivered.

New York City is always changing, but thousands of residents of Brooklyn, including 51 community organizations asked the question: How do we, the people, want that change to occur?

Spurred into action by Frank Gehry's design for 16 modern art skyscrapers and a Basketball Arena that will cost New York City taxpayers nearly $2 billion, Brooklyn rose up.

Not only does Advomatic do custom module development work with this ground-breaking young voter project, but one MfA founder is on Advomatic staff.

One of the first organizations to begin mobilizing progressive young people in the 2004 election cycle was Music for America (MfA) - a partisan political organization run entirely by people under 30, working to mobilize their politically uninitiated peers in local music and cultural scenes since May of 2003.

During the 2005 New York City Mayoral election, New Yorkers for Parks launched campaign to raise awareness (in the parks and on-line) of public parks as an issue of great community importance in New York. More than 380 groups and hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers visited parks1.org over the summer.

Advomatic's Director of Strategic Messaging was Parks1's Communications Director and Advomatic built the website that was the organizational hub for the entire campaign. Communications - internal and external, as well as advocacy - for earned media and for elected officials, all ran through the site.

General Wesley Clark's Political Action Committee (WesPAC) had a problem. After the General's innovative online Presidential campaign ended, the Scoop software powering their community website rapidly became dated and unwieldy, a virtual jungle. WesPAC needed the community functionality of Scoop without intensive staff and volunteer maintenance. Enter Advomatic.

When converting WesPAC to Drupal, we kept their design, imported all their data, added features, and made sure the grassroots supporters of General Clark experienced a friendly transition. Now, the Clark Community Network is easy to use and run.
