What We Do

FULL-SPECTRUM
POLITICAL CONSULTING

From the statehouse to Capitol Hill, we provide the strategic firepower campaigns and organizations need to shape public opinion, move policy, and win.

01
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY

Comprehensive campaign planning from announcement through Election Night. We build the roadmap, set the milestones, and manage execution so you stay on offense.

02
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

Strategic lobbying, coalition building, and legislative advocacy. We know the players, the process, and the pressure points that move policy at the state and federal level.

03
CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS

When the story breaks, you need a war room — not a waiting room. We deploy rapid-response strategies that control the narrative and protect your reputation.

04
PUBLIC RELATIONS

Earned media strategy, press relations, op-ed placement, and spokesperson training. We get you in the headlines — on your terms.

05
MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT

Your message is your weapon. We craft compelling narratives grounded in research and voter psychology that cut through the noise and move people to action.

06
SOCIAL MEDIA & DIGITAL

Targeted digital advertising, social media strategy, and content creation designed to reach the right voters with the right message at the right time.

Our Approach

BUILT FOR THE
BATTLEFIELD

Politics isn't a spectator sport. Our methodology is forged from decades of real-world experience in the trenches of American politics.

01
Intelligence Gathering
We assess the landscape — polling, opposition vulnerabilities, media environment, and stakeholder dynamics — before a single dollar is spent.
02
Strategic Architecture
We build your campaign plan with military precision: clear objectives, defined audiences, timeline, budget allocation, and contingency protocols.
03
Aggressive Execution
Strategy without execution is hallucination. We deploy your message across every channel — earned media, digital, direct voter contact — with relentless discipline.
04
Rapid Adaptation
The political battlefield shifts daily. We monitor, measure, and recalibrate in real time to ensure you maintain the offensive advantage.

About Pulse Communications

TWO DECADES IN THE
ARENA

We don't theorize about politics. We've lived it — in war rooms, on Capitol Hill, in front of cameras, and behind the scenes where the real decisions get made.

Randall Thompson, Founder & Managing Partner

RANDALL THOMPSON

Founder & Managing Partner

For more than two decades, Randall Thompson has operated at the highest levels of state and federal politics. He has served as Chief of Staff in both the Michigan House of Representatives and the United States Congress, and as Communications Director and Spokesman for the fourth highest-ranking member of the United States Congress.

Randall served as Spokesman and Communications Director for the Michigan Attorney General and Michigan Secretary of State. Outside of public service, he served as the Midwest Director for a major Washington D.C.-based issue advocacy organization covering Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Pennsylvania — campaigning for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom.

He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, and Court TV and has been quoted in major newspapers across America. In 2004, Randall was awarded a Legislative Tribute from the Michigan House of Representatives for his years of commitment to public service.

In 2026, Randall co-founded OneCampaign.AI — the first AI-powered political campaign platform of its kind, giving every candidate access to the same caliber of strategic tools that were once reserved for well-funded campaigns with six-figure consulting budgets.
