Blue Amp Strategies

What Blue Amp Strategies does

Blue Amp Strategies is a Washington, DC-based political and media consulting firm founded in 2019 by Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter and Obama-campaign ad maker Greg Pinelo. The firm serves political campaigns, advocacy organizations, foundations, and socially-responsible companies through three practice areas: Campaign Consulting (strategy and creative for elections and legislative battles), Conscious Capitalism (corporate social responsibility communications), and Social Amplification (social media strategy and audience development). Underlying these is an integrated methodology the firm brands as Aggression, Integration, and Amplification — designed to deliver campaign execution across paid media, organic social, and earned press under a single engagement rather than the siloed model used by traditional political consultancies.

The service offering combines creative advertising and video production, social media content creation and amplification, and earned media/press relations, delivered through modular service components including media training, debate preparation, branding, and identity development. Disclosed client work includes advertising production for the Biden-Harris 2020 presidential campaign, video content for With Honor Fund, and media relations program design for Everytown for Gun Safety, the Buffett Foundation, IBM, and the Ohio Innocence Project. The firm has cultivated a verified Twitter following that includes Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Ron Klain, Rachel Maddow, and other political and cultural figures, positioning that network as a client amplification channel.

Blue Amp operates as a custom consulting shop with flexible engagement models — project-based consulting, retainer arrangements, strategic team participation, or embedded leadership roles — and does not publicly disclose pricing or revenue. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees. Client acquisition relies on the founders' professional networks, founder Cliff Schecter's media profile as a pundit, podcaster, and best-selling author, an active Twitter presence, the 'This Blog Goes to 11' content platform, and the BLUEAMP Network of partner agencies and professionals.
