Revolution Messaging communications strategist Toby Chaudhuri was named one of 2010’s political Rising Stars by his peers at Campaigns & Elections Magazine. Chaudhuri and the other winners will be featured in the June issue of the magazine.

Campaigns & Elections selects 10 Democrats under the age of 35 who have shown innovation and excellence in communications, Get Out The Vote, fundraising, polling, or campaign management. Previous winners include David Axelrod, Celinda Lake and Rahm Emmanuel.

“Much of what we do takes place behind the scenes,” said Chaudhuri. “I’m humbled to work with clients who believe we have the greatest opportunity for reform in a generation. They’re the ones who trust us to raise the bar and push the envelope everyday to experiment with new ways to organize.”

Chaudhuri was a spokesman for civil rights leader Marian Wright Edelman, media strategist for the Children’s Defense Fund and a deputy press secretary for Vice President Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. He comes to Revolution Messaging after spending several years directing communications at the Campaign for America’s Future, a progressive strategy center.

As part of the Revolution Messaging team, Chaudhuri works with political campaigns as well as labor and progressive groups to influence public policy with social media, lifestyle marketing and text messaging.

Revolution Messaging is only in its first year, but has a growing team of top-flight organizers, programmers and strategists in its Logan Circle office. They specialize in incorporating mobile marketing and new media strategy into grassroots campaigns.

The company — founded by Scott Goodstein, who developed the Obama campaign’s social networking platforms, lifestyle marketing strategy and mobile technology — was recently honored by the Personal Democracy Forum as the overall top rated political technology shop in the country. Revolution Messaging was also rated by the Forum as the best political technology shop for the reliability of its software and customer service.

Washington, DC - July 3, 2009 — In honor of our nation’s Independence, mobile communications and new media veterans from President Obama’s campaign are launching a new company this weekend - Revolution Messaging, LLC. Revolution Messaging will provide a portfolio of mobile communications, social media, and lifestyle marketing services to progressive and non-profit clientele. Revolution Messaging is staffed by veterans of digital outreach, grassroots organizing, new media consulting, and fundraising:

Scott Goodstein: Goodstein was External Online Director for Obama for America and developed its social networking platforms. He built the campaign’s lifestyle marketing strategy and developed the “street team” materials used in battleground states. Goodstein also created and implemented Obama Mobile, an advanced communication strategy that included text messaging, downloads, interactive voice response communication, a mobile web site (WAP), and even an iPhone application.

Doug Busk: With over 10 years’ experience in high tech fields, ranging from interactive marketing to wireless strategy, Busk brings a diverse background to Revolution Messaging. He acted as technology advisor on Obama Mobile from its inception. Busk leverages his extensive background in wireless technology and product development at AT&T and Verizon Wireless to support Revolution’s platform build-out, vendor partnerships and outreach to the mobile marketing community.

Keegan Goudiss: Goudiss comes to Revolution Messaging with over five years experience in managing new media efforts for Democratic campaigns and starting his own consulting firm, Vox-P Media. While at Vox-P Media he designed a social media tracking process and search engine marketing strategy for both political and non-profit organizations.

James Hupp: Hupp has been involved in new media organizing for more than four years. James was the Online Organizing Fundraising Manager for Obama for America, overseeing the My.BarackObama.Com personal fundraising program and leading an effort to give grassroots fundraisers the kind of support that traditional campaigns left them without.

When asked about the creation of Revolution Messaging, founder Scott Goodstein said, “Thomas Jefferson clearly stated that every generation needs a new revolution. I believe, for us, that a revolution is happening through social media and mobile communications. It’s time for us to better adapt and organize using these evolving technologies.” Goodstein continued, “This 4th of July, our time to begin the revolution is now!”
