The Creative Caucus

Political ads are weird. They’re emotional, strategic, overanalyzed, under-appreciated, and everywhere. The Creative Caucus is a podcast that goes behind the scenes of the political advertising world to talk with the people who actually make the work. Hosted by Garret Brubaker, founder of Studio Brubaker, the show is a candid, creative-first conversation about persuasion, storytelling, and the craft of political communication. Each episode features in-depth interviews with professional creatives working across the political spectrum, from presidential and national campaigns to statewide races, ballot initiatives, advocacy groups, and local elections. These are strategists, copywriters, filmmakers, designers, editors, and creative directors who live at the intersection of art, messaging, and power. Whether you’re a political creative, marketer, strategist, journalist, or simply someone curious about how modern political messaging actually gets made, The Creative Caucus offers a rare, inside look at a strange, influential, and endlessly fascinating corner of the creative world. Because political ads may be weird...but the people who make them are thoughtful, talented, and worth hearing from.
