Running for Office in 2026?
Strategy. Messaging. Digital Reach.
IG Strategies helps Canadian municipal candidates — first-time runners, incumbents, and mayoral campaigns — win with sharp messaging, modern digital advertising, and disciplined campaign strategy.
Confidential consultation • No obligation • Response within 24 hours
Strategic communications & government relations since 2020 • Campaigns reaching millions across North America
Most candidates don’t lose because of their ideas.
They lose because nobody heard them. Because their message was muddy. Because their digital presence looked amateur next to a polished opponent. Because they spent the last six weeks reacting instead of executing a plan.
Winning a municipal race is a communications problem. We solve communications problems.
What We Do for Campaigns
Tailored to the size of your race. Whether you’re running for council, school board, or mayor — we scale to your budget and your ambition.
Campaign Strategy
Voter targeting, ward analysis, message development, and a written campaign plan you can actually execute. We build the playbook; you run the play.
Digital Advertising
Meta and Google ad campaigns built for local races — tight geo-targeting, creative that actually persuades, and weekly reporting you can understand.
Messaging & Content
Stump speech, debate prep, candidate website, social content, lit drops, and press releases. Your voice, sharpened — not replaced.
Voter Outreach Systems
Door-knocking lists, volunteer coordination tools, ID and GOTV systems, and the back-end automation that lets a small team punch above its weight.
Who We Work With
First-Time Candidates
You’ve never run before. You don’t know what you don’t know. We give you the structure, calendar, and confidence to compete.
Incumbents
You’ve done the job — but defending the seat is a different fight. We help you tell the story of your record and counter the challenger’s narrative.
Mayoral Campaigns
City-wide races demand city-wide infrastructure. Strategy, paid media, earned media, debate prep, and crisis response — handled.
How It Works
A simple, confidential process — designed to fit around the chaos of a campaign.
Free Strategy Call
20 minutes. Tell us about your race, your opponent, and your goals. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.
Custom Proposal
If it’s a fit, we send a scoped proposal — services, timeline, and price. No surprises, no retainer traps.
We Execute
From the day you sign to the day polls close. Weekly check-ins, real deliverables, and a team that picks up the phone.
Why IG Strategies
We’re a strategic government relations and public affairs firm — not a generic marketing agency. We understand how municipal politics actually works because we work inside it every day. Our team has supported advocacy campaigns, public affairs initiatives, and communications strategies reaching millions of people across North America.
When you hire us, you’re not getting an intern with a Canva login. You’re getting operators who know the difference between a ward race and a city-wide and price our services accordingly.
