Message from Ceisler Media
As a veteran in this business, I’m often amazed at the rapid rate of change. And as the head of Ceisler Media & Issue Advocacy, I’m proud of how our firm has adapted to anticipate and keep up with that change.
Under the direction of our management team, headed by Chief Operating Officer Kate Wilhelm, we’ve placed great emphasis on expanding our capabilities in digital and creative services.
Speaking of Kate, you saw her video above discussing how our firm has navigated through the current pandemic – both in terms of how we strive to serve our clients and also make sure our dedicated team stays healthy and energized.
Krystal Bonner, our new head of Digital and Creative Services, explains some of our increased expertise and strategies in those areas. And Digital Projects Manager Melissa Sherman writes on how we’ve used this newsletter and our blogs to successfully brand our company – just as we do for clients.
There’s a link below for a podcast I recorded last week with Finch Brands, discussing how the Biden and Trump campaigns can effectively harness their positioning and messaging techniques.
And please take the time to read the blog written by Larry Miller, our Special Projects Manager. Larry is a treasure for our firm – an experienced, no-nonsense advocate for his beliefs. In this article, he explains why the “Black Lives Matter” movement needs to start tackling the issue of black-on-black crime.
We’ve got updates on our clients as well. Give it a read and let me know your thoughts. And stay safe out there.

VoteSafe Pennsylvania
Ceisler Media helped launch VoteSafe Pennsylvania, a statewide initiative working to ensure that all Pennsylvanians have access to safe voting options in the upcoming November election. The bipartisan coalition is led by former Republican House Majority Leader Dave Reed and former Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, who also served as Undersecretary and Acting Secretary of the U.S. Army. All five of Pennsylvania’s living former governors have signed on to endorse the initiative. The coalition also comprises community leaders, advocates, nonprofit organizations, former elected officials and election experts with the same goals —an efficient, accessible, secure mail-in ballot process and safe, in-person voting sites.
