Claims to Fame

Proven success and groundbreaking initiatives are part of the fabric of Connell Donatelli. No other single firm is better prepared to deliver your message. Here are just a few of the many Connell and Donatelli "claims to fame."

* Donatelli's firm ran a campaign hailed by many as the breakthrough moment in online fundraising for John McCain during his bid for the Presidency in 2000. The effort proved to the world the viability of soliciting campaign contributions from grassroots supporters online.
* Internationally known for their work in Central and Eastern Europe, Connell's New Media once again made political history with the groundbreaking get-out-the-vote effort in Slovenia in October 2000. His company was first to use the Short Message Service (SMS) to send text message reminders to the cell phones of young voters, dramatically increasing turnout at the polls. The technique worked so well that it's become common practice in every major Western European election since.
* Donatelli's Campaign Solutions again broke new ground when it created a successful viral marketing campaign to help a Republican Senator keep his Party's nomination in a hotly contested Primary race. The firm successfully appended email addresses to the state voter files and micro-targeted the site directly to GOP primary voters.
* Connell's company pioneered the first interactive online advertising for the George W. Bush Presidential Campaign in 2000. Ahead of the curve, interactive advertising is just now being embraced by corporate America. Political America is beginning to follow suit in this election cycle.
