About the Work

To give authenticity to the line “Stronger Together,” our campaign highlighted individuals with unique stories, allowing them to voice their personal experiences with the callous, negative rhetoric of Donald Trump. We would tell a range of stories, hitting on religious freedom, steadfast character, and standing up for the little guy. Each story would help to create a more holistic view of Donald Trump as a candidate while further reinforcing Hillary Clinton’s commitment all American people and her resolve as a presidential candidate. “Captain Khan” was one of the most talked about ads of the campaign in traditional and social media, described as “incredibly powerful” (Washington Post), “emotional” (CNN) and “brutal to watch and so effective” (Slate).
