Quick Employer Brief
Fast initial overview for early target screening. Employer identity, basic ownership signals, public footprint, and initial risk indicators. Typically one to three business days.
Campaign Research Support for Union Organizers
When organizers do not have days to lose on fragmented employer research, Agitation Institute provides source-backed research support built around campaign planning needs.
Research gaps slow campaigns down
Most organizing teams are stretched. Researching an employer from scratch takes time organizers do not have - and fragmented, unsourced research creates risk when decisions depend on it.
External research support lets organizers focus on organizing while the employer picture gets built in parallel.
Signs you need research support
- Organizers are spending days on manual employer searching
- Research quality is inconsistent across campaigns
- Public information is scattered with no source trail
- Campaigns need fast context before decisions
- Leadership needs clean briefings quickly
- Internal staff are at capacity on active drives

Built to work alongside organizers
Research support is designed to hand off cleanly to organizers - not replace their judgment. Every output includes source links, confidence notes, and recommended follow-up questions for the field.
We work with your existing campaign workflow, not around it. If your team has specific research templates, priorities, or formats that work, we adapt to them.
Source-backed. Evidence-disciplined.
All research uses lawful public sources with links, citations, and confidence notes on every finding. No hacking, private data access, or illegal surveillance. Learn about our research methodology.

Common questions
Can you support multiple campaigns?
Yes. We work with organizing teams and departments running multiple campaigns. Research can be scoped per campaign or structured as ongoing support across a portfolio of targets.
Can this be done as a retainer?
Yes. For organizing departments with ongoing research needs, we offer retainer arrangements covering a defined volume of briefs, dossiers, and monitoring updates.
Do you work with organizing departments?
Yes. Organizing departments and research staff are a primary audience. We can work alongside existing capacity or provide external capacity when internal resources are stretched.
What do you need from us?
At minimum, the employer name and campaign context. More detail helps us focus faster. We will follow up to scope the work before starting.
Can you prioritize urgent research?
Yes. When campaigns are moving fast, we can prioritize quick employer briefs with a short turnaround. Tell us the timeline when you get in touch.
