About HIT
A research firm built to understand the communities that traditional polling misses.
Our Story
Founded to close the research gap
HIT Strategies was founded on a simple premise: you cannot build a winning strategy on research that ignores the fastest-growing parts of the electorate.
We pair rigorous methods with authentic cultural fluency, so the insight we deliver is both accurate and actionable.

Join our team
HIT Strategies is a growing polling, messaging, and strategy firm built to understand the communities traditional research overlooks. Our research is conducted by people with a deep understanding of underestimated communities, delivering nuanced, data-driven insights that traditional firms can't replicate.
Our work is grounded in collaboration, curiosity, methodological and analytical rigor, and impact — and we strive to create an environment where everyone can contribute and grow professionally. We especially encourage applications from people whose lived experiences are underrepresented in political research.
