Authentic

We founded Authentic in 2018 as a digital marketing and online fundraising agency. We work with progressive campaigns and non-profit organizations to create lasting and inclusive change.

We offer online fundraising, digital paid media, creative content (like static and motion graphics, display ads, videos, and email graphics), logo and branding services, mobile messaging, and general consulting.

Since 2018, we have raised over $1 billion online from grassroots donors and partnered with more than 350 organizations. In 2024, 77% of our electoral clients won. We’ve received numerous awards, including Best New Firm at the 2019 Reed Awards, Company of the Year at CampaignTech in 2022, and Small Agency of the Year at the 2024 Shorty Impact Awards.

Our mission is to use digital solutions to create lasting and inclusive change. We create authentic content tailored to our clients’ specific needs and goals by understanding their identities, motivations, and causes.

Our core values are honesty, hunger, and curiosity. We operate as a progressive organization that is diverse, inclusive, and welcoming to all. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we prohibit the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for job applications.

Authentic is a fully remote company with a 4-day workweek. Our culture emphasizes a partnership approach with clients, where we combine passion, purpose, empathy, and skill to deliver digital campaigns.

Our team members are encouraged to use their diverse experiences and expertise, fostering a collaborative environment. All positions within the company are represented by the Campaign Workers Guild.
