PERSON: Harlan Hill

Headliner/Harlan Hill Media

Head of Product/Political Consultant & Strategist

Harlan Hill got his first taste of politics working in the UK Parliament at age 15. He worked his first campaigns the following year in Liverpool on the data and field operation of the Liberal Democrat party and back home on local races in South Carolina.

Today, Hill’s analysis and commentary is featured on national television, including CNN, Fox News Channel, Fox News Radio, Newsmax TV and RNN’s “Richard French Live”. Hill’s wealth of experience places him among global experts in integrating complex data and systems to advance clients’ interests in domestic and international political campaigns.

Since founding his original digital agency, Code & Politics, in 2009, Hill has advised more than 120 campaigns in six countries and 29 US states, including 27 US Congressional campaigns, six US Senate campaigns, eight constitutional statewide campaigns and dozens of local campaigns. He’s consulted issue advocacy campaigns for Fortune 500 companies — including American Airlines, AT&T and Cisco — and on issue-based campaigns for labor unions, including AFT, SEIU and FEA. He was a founding partner of Indigo Strategies and worked extensively in the 2014 European Union elections for the pan-European political party, PES, and its candidate for President of the European Commission, Martin Schulz.

In 2014, Hill founded the Washington, DC-based startup, TallyVoting. At Tally, Hill built a team focused on disrupting the $35 billion election technology and voting machine market with low cost hardware and a SaaS delivery model. In 2015, Hill joined Headliner, a venture-backed news startup building a crowdsourced Daily Show.
