CAPABILITIES

Clinton Haworth Collective was enlisted to execute an earned media campaign for City Hall Free For All — an eight-part, special podcast series that dug into New York City's historic mayoral race. A collaboration among FAQ NYC co-hosts Harry Siegel, Christina Greer, Katie Honan, and Max Politics host Ben Max, City Hall Free For All featured prominent and powerful political players including Patrick Gaspard, Letitia James, Bill Bratton and Jumaane Williams.

CHC created a strategic campaign to generate buzz around the launch of the podcast and promote each episode. We also positioned the co-hosts as experts and secured local and national interviews to discuss the election and its implications for New Yorkers and the greater national political landscape. In addition, CHC created a media kit and social media toolkit.
