MAGA firms merge to create American Made Media Company
A group of ex-Trump officials has created a newly rebranded digital services firm called American Made Media Company, its partners told Axios. Why it matters: AMMC is one of the first major political consulting firms to emerge out of the first Trump administration. A different group of Trump alumni have recently launched a combined government relations firm. The big picture: New firms tend to crop up from former administration and campaign officials following each presidency or election cycle. Bully Pulpit International (BPI) was founded by Obama alums and maintained close ties with the Biden administration, Clinton alum Jim Margolis founded GMMB, while Targeted Victory was launched by former Romney advisors. Zoom in: AMMC is made up of strategic consulting firm NPA Strategies, digital agency Launchpad Strategies, direct mail firm 17th Street Media, production firm American Made Media Consultants and NPA Polling. The firm is helmed by Justin Clark, Sean Dollman and Nick Trainer. Clark served as deputy national political director of Trump's 2016 campaign, then took a job in the Trump administration as director of both the Office of Public Liaison and Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. He also served as deputy campaign manager in 2020. Dollman worked on both the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and most recently served as deputy campaign manager and chief financial officer in 2024. Trainer led Trump's battleground states strategy in 2020 and joined the first administration as special assistant to the president and director of regional political operations.
