cStreet & Stratcom Announce Partnership with Hustle

Today, cStreet Campaigns and Strategic Communications (Stratcom) are excited to announce a strategic partnership with Hustle.  This partnership will allow us to offer Hustle — the breakout technology of the 2016 US election cycle — to organizations across Canada.

Hustle, made famous for transforming Bernie Sanders' grassroots strategy throughout the democratic primary, is now working with some of the largest campaigns, nonprofits, unions, and advocacy organizations in the United States.

Hustle works by scaling 1:1 interactions via text message between organizations and their supporters.  Using Hustle’s easy-to-use iOS, Android, and web apps, you can send 16 personal text messages in the time it would take to make one phone call. And, since texting is a far more effective channel for connecting with people today, you’ll get three times the response rate.

“Hustle represents a significant maturation of the tools for engagement through SMS.  We can finally move past one-size-fits-all text blasts to developing deep, authentic engagement with members, donors, and supporters in a meaningful way.” Said Josh Stuart, President of cStreet Campaigns. 

“Stratcom is excited to bring Hustle to Canada and take our clients’ audience engagement work to the next level. Hustle is the perfect complement to the other tools we offer. Over the last few years cell phone engagement has become crucial to effective organizing.” Said Matt Smith, Senior Director, Research & Engagement at Stratcom
