JOHN VODREY

I am a digital contractor with broad experience in progressive politics and advocacy. I have a track record of delivering exceptional social media growth.

I led a small digital team and volunteers for the Uncommitted National Movement — the high-profile protest campaign in the Democratic presidential primaries that helped shift the national discourse on President Biden’s support for Israel’s siege of Gaza. I developed and implemented a digital plan for the movement. My wide-ranging portfolio included brand design, content creation, social media, ads, and two websites. In my first four weeks in that role, on Instagram we organically achieved a 459% increase in reach, a 254% increase in interactions, and a 100% increase in link clicks, compared to the four weeks before I started. 

I am a self-starting creative thinker who knows how to make content that resonates with people. I created a progressive satirical news outlet that amassed 3K followers on X/Twitter in less than six months without any advertising. Additionally, I managed social media for a comedian with 40K+ Instagram followers and achieved an 87% organic increase in followers for his podcast’s Instagram in my first 2.5 months working with him.

I have experience in both federal and local government. I have drafted speeches and newsletters for former US Sen. Sherrod Brown. Locally, I redesigned the economic development website of one of the largest counties in Ohio and managed a judicial campaign focused on court reform that unseated an incumbent.
