It started as a quest to solve a problem. In 2012, Ximena Hartsock, a non-profit Advocacy Director, was traveling across the country engaging people in advocacy campaigns. Everyone she met with wanted to connect with officials to express their opinions, but didn't know who their lawmakers were or how to contact them. Having previously been a government official, she knew first-hand the importance of constituent engagement. This unique perspective of someone with experience on both sides of the advocacy spectrum drove the desire to build Phone2Action. Ximena teamed up with serial entrepreneur Jeb Ory, who saw how he could apply technology to solve her problem, and ultimately equip organizations with the tools to scale their impact.

Phone2Action was the first all-in-one software platform designed to amplify organizations’ advocacy by combining a communications hub, acquisition hub, and activation hub. The tools themselves were designed for the advocate to use when they were on the move, so our advocate experiences are always mobile responsive and intuitive. As the pioneer in advocacy technology, we continue to set the bar for digital engagement technology, as evidenced by the introduction of SocialPulse, the first social media advocacy management tool.

However, being first is not enough. We remain committed to innovation and retaining our spot as the best platform for digital stakeholder engagement.
