His creativity has consistently elevated the digital presence of candidates, leaving an indelible mark on the political landscape.
On the Fetterman for Senate campaign in 2022, Trison worked with the team to make several viral videos that poked fun at Dr. Oz’s celebrity status and New Jersey residency. Unlike many commonly nasty and mean-spirited political ads, these videos were funny and as a result, sticky. They garnered attention from traditional media outlets, were featured on TV and in newspapers.

His videos have garnered widespread attention, with millions of views across various online platforms. Numbers aside, Trison’s videos have sparked conversations, galvanized support, and influenced voter sentiment, effectively shaping the narrative of the races he has been involved in.
