Data.
Because success starts with the correct Data.
Our work is informed by the largest database of institutional voting in the industry. This cloud-based infrastructure uses cutting-edge technology to provide the most comprehensive investor voting data. Harkins Kovler’s database on institutional voting reveals likely institutional voting based on prior voting on the same or similar issues in comparable contests and highlights alternative paths to success. Our data-driven approach leads to the development of more focused and effective campaign strategies, along with the efficient allocation of campaign resources.
