Hello World!

A little more than a year ago, I founded a small company aimed at helping conservative campaigns & causes. I called it “The Beag Co.” — “beag” is Irish for “small” — because it was just me, and I wanted to keep my expectations modest. It was my little company, and while it was the biggest thing I’d ever done (professionally), it was a “beag” deal to everyone else.

But in the fourteen months that followed, that little company has done some big things. It built a website for Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign (in just 7 days), and shepherded his digital operation for more than six months. It reshaped what people imagined a state Republican Party’s website could achieve when it redesigned Florida.GOP. And it set a new standard for non-presidential campaign websites. And while I can’t say for certain (nothing is ever certain in life), it feels like we’re just getting started.

Now, we’re a company of three full time employees and a suite of freelance partners. We’re serving conservative campaigns & causes in seven countries. We’re actively hiring and taking on additional clients each week. It seems like we’re in a good position to make a change.

My initial vision of a small company working on small projects has given way to one of a mission-driven driven agency that’s committed to helping conservatives around the world organize grassroots communities, raise money online, and run smarter campaigns. And as such, that initial name — The Beag Co. — no longer feels appropriate.

So say “hello” to Hines Digital. We’re the same agency you’ve gotten to know over the past year, but with a renewed focus and a clearer mission: to leverage the proven digital strategies and tactics traditionally leveraged by the Left to win conservative campaigns. Frankly, we’re just tired of seeing conservatives get out-organized online, and we’re not going to take it anymore. We’re out to beat the left at their own game by out-hustling, out-organizing, and out-fundraising them.
