I remember being so nervous the first time I met Senator Rand Paul after being hired on his campaign to run digital operations.

This was a candidate who led on technology policy, understood the power of the internet, and was beloved by those in Silicon Valley.

I don't know. I helped orenbus try to get it off the ground but the kickstarter failed and then everything kinda disappeared, including orenbus.

eta: afaik, Vincent Harris is not orenbus (Jack).

No. This is from Vincent Harris and the official campaign.

good read, enjoyed the digital side of the campaign, except the crappy quality livestreams. Thanks, Vincent, for all you did.

Good article. Kinda strange that he also worked for Ted Cruz and Benjamin Netanyahu.

as a digital content director....you take jobs with your company, not back political positions.

Sounds more like a resume.

in the "art" world, every job is a resume/portfolio
