Shrock &

Associates

This is not campaign consulting.

It is world-building work.

We work with people who are trying to build the world we actually need— inside systems that weren’t designed for honesty.

We help leaders, communicators, organizers, and institutions tell the truth without burning out their people, betraying their values, or mistaking urgency for strategy.

What This Is

Some democratic and non-profit organizations are failing because they keep using methods that extract, exhaust, and silence the very people doing the work and the people they're supposed to serve.

We work at the intersection of:

public narrative
institutional ethics
political strategy
and human endurance

Our approach is grounded in one simple belief:

How we work is part of what we’re building.

Who We Work With

We work with:

candidates who want to build a new world of, by and for the people
people looking to win messaging battles in committee rooms, news media, and online
candidates and electeds, non-profit, communication, and policy leaders at ethical crossroads
organizers and staff navigating burnout, moral injury, or institutional failure
faith-adjacent and values-driven institutions trying to speak honestly in public
people who are tired of performing urgency and ready to practice strategy

If your work is about empowering the people, we’ll understand each other.

We Don’t Work With

Candidates or institutions that:

treat people as disposable
confuse speed with wisdom
demand silence in the name of “the greater good”
use progressive language to justify harm

There are plenty of consultants for that.

We are not one of them.

How We Work

Our work is:

relational, not extractive
strategic, not reactive
slow enough to be honest
clear enough to be useful

This can look like:

long-term strategic advising
short-term intervention during moments of crisis or transition
facilitated world-building sessions for small groups
quiet counsel when the public answer isn’t the true one

There are no templates.
There is a method, and it adapts to the people in the room.
