About The Grand Exchange

The Grand Exchange is a direct marketplace connecting campaigns, nonprofits, and organizations with creators who know how to reach and move real audiences. No agencies. No unnecessary layers. Just clear collaboration between people who want to get things done.

How It Started

Solving a Problem in Progressive Politics

The idea for The Grand Exchange came from people working inside the system every day.


Organizer Memes, one of the most recognizable voices in progressive digital politics, experienced firsthand the frustrations creators face—where third parties often control access, pricing, and opportunities.

At the same time, Soka Sands Creative, through its work with candidates, consultants, and organizations, saw how difficult it was for campaigns to find and work with the right creators without jumping through hoops.

Together, with development partner Politodigital, they built The Grand Exchange to remove those barriers entirely.
