We're experienced digital marketers and political organizers, driven to help progressive campaigns win.
Ladder teammates David and Ansley are digital advertising experts and also long-time political organizers. It is this union of skills that allows us to achieve results and help campaigns win. We’ve personally knocked hundreds of doors to talk with voters, written candidate platforms, led the creation of communications guides, and trained countless volunteers. Since 2019, we’ve had the honor of building, deploying, and executing political advertising for campaigns for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives, New York City Council, New York State Assembly and Senate, and campaigns across the country. We’ve worked with PACs, for public issue campaigns, and for a wide variety of progressive organizations. We know your world, and we know digital advertising. We’re excited to get to work.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Alexa Avilés for New York City Council
David brought great expertise and energy to our campaign in building out and maximizing our digital infrastructure and operations, branding and visual design, web design, comms infrastructure, and digital advertising. It was a real pleasure to work with David and his team who were flexible and bold and were always on top of the fast-moving digital marketing needs especially at the peak of campaign time. David played a key role in our campaign’s success and we are so they were part of the team.
Alexa Avilés
Council Member, New York City CouncilZohran Mamdani for State Assembly
David brought serious expertise to our state legislative campaign. He helped us to develop a keener understanding of our most effective messaging, most interested audiences, and most compelling visuals. In short, David's work served as the bridge between ourselves and the thousands of New Yorkers who agree with our cause but knew nothing about it. It was a pleasure to work with him and we appreciated his commitment in going beyond our vision to also build out our campaign's technical infrastructure and ensure that all of our work was within compliance. We enthusiastically recommend David.
Elle Bisgaard-Church
Campaign ManagerPublic Power NY
The comms campaign for passing the Build Public Renewables Act was fast and furious, with very little runway and tons of last minute changes due to constantly evolving political conditions. To make it happen, we needed a paid digital media expert well-versed in the latest best practices, knew the platforms inside and out, and flexible enough to make it all happen in a tight window. DAVID.MARKET was that expert and a perfect fit for the job. You won't find much better than David and team!

Public PowerClaire Valdez for New York State Assembly
I had the pleasure of working with David on digital ads for a state assembly race, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. It was important to me to have someone I could completely trust take ownership of the campaigns across platforms (Meta, Google Display, YouTube, Hulu, etc.) and David absolutely delivered. He demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and initiative, he was flexible and addressed last-minute changes quickly, and he crafted compelling ad content and targeted it precisely to reach our desired audiences. I highly recommend David and his team!
