This holiday season, your Pub Politics hosts decided to put their political feuding to good use. The Carolina Children's Home is in need of some repairs, so that their kids can sleep and play in a place that feels like home. To help fundraise for this good cause, Columbia City Mayor Steve Benjamin agreed to be our guest. If you would still like to donate to the Carolina Children's Home, please visit this link now: https://rally.org/pubpolitics
This episode of Pub Politics took place at the lofty Sumter Club during one of the Rotary Club's regular meetings.

Wesley Donehue Awarded Innovator of the Year
Today, our fearless leader, Wesley Donehue, is being inducted into the inaugural class of Campaigns and Elections’ CampaignTech Innovator Awards, presented by New Media Strategies in Washington, DC. There are 10 Innovator Award recipients, from areas such as technology, campaigns, advocacy and government, who have shown exceptional innovation in their work.
Wesley is being honored as a Republican Innovator, due to his online political consulting operations. In his work, he has taken his years of campaign experience and translated them into innovative campaign solutions for today’s digital world. Wesley currently handles the online presence for the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus, and boasts numerous clients from the SC state legislature. He even hosts a successful weekly Internet show called Pub Politics, which is also broadcasted on a local television news station.
Most notably, Wesley has been an innovator in providing cost-sensitive solutions to lower-tier candidates and non-profits by launching Win With WordPress in 2010, which provides low-cost professional websites. The following year, Wesley founded Fundraiser7, which is an event ticketing application built on the Piryx platform. The website he developed for the South Carolina Republican Party was named best website by the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, and last year he was named a Rising Star by Campaigns and Elections.
We are truly proud of Wesley’s tremendous achievement in winning this respected award. We know that many such awards are forthcoming in the near future, as Donehue Direct continues to burgeon its new media and web development empire.

Going Corporate
So you know that Donehue Direct is one of the largest political Internet firms in the country, but did you also know that we build corporate websites as well?
The McKay Law Firm wanted a web presence that conveyed their unique charm and powerful attorney resources. So we developed a website that simply displayed their services, news posts, social media feeds and attorney information. Their homepage features a large image slider and a post feed that pulls from their news category. A Twitter feed is also in the sidebar, which provides all the latest news and updates.
On the attorney page, each attorney’s contact information is displayed, along with an excerpt from his or her biography information. Site visitors can email each attorney directly, or contact the associated paralegal first.
Developing corporate sites such as this is always fun for us. We get to stretch our creative muscles and think of new ways to convey brands to a much different audience. This is the second law firm website be have built and we look forward to doing much more. If you would like us to get creative with your web presence please click here to contact us and stroll through our portfolio.

Scrolling Through Your Awesome Life
For years I’ve been complaining about the lack of a great service on Facebook to track all the cool things we do. There is just no telling how many games Michael Rentiers and I have tailgated at together and it would be cool to have some way of looking back at all those games. Elizabeth and I are always traveling, yet we have no timeline to view all those trips.
Now we have it.
The new Facebook lets us scroll back through our lives. And I LOVE it!
Here’s that video of me and Trey I mentioned in the video:
Phil is gone again and Amanda Loveday steps in to take the heat to Wesley. Corey Hutchins of Columbia Free Times and Dianne Gallagher of CN2 are the guests for this live episode from The Whig.

Ahoy Maties!
Grab some grog and your trusted parrot because it’s time to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day! The point of the day? Have fun!
Avast! At Donehue Direct, we believe that everything you do should be about building your brand. Therefore, every email, tweet, Facebook post and interaction on or offline should contribute to this. Savvy?
What this doesn’t mean is that everything you say and do has to sound scripted, forced, or all press releasey. People are going to have to like you as a person before they will ever listen to your message, especially if you are a political candidate. So have fun sometimes! Take opportunities like Talk Like a Pirate Day to show the personal side of yourself and your company. People want to interact with people who are having fun!
So take a break from pushing your message every once in a while. You may find that when you do, more people connect with you and your message than there are pirates with peg legs!
Before ye shove off to start greeting yer coworkers with a hearty “Arrrr”, check out me beauty of a video showing what we do here at Donehue Direct every day!
