In addition to more traditional methods of garnering exposure, the documentary's director and the Staunch Moderates Movement's founder Greg T. Simmons has utilized a series of "Bigfoot" sightings. The Bigfoot mascot of the movement is an eight-foot tall, boombox-toting DJ dubbed "Staunch" and there have been a number of 2023 sightings in downtown Aspen, Las Vegas, and Palm Springs. He's been seen skiing down Aspen Mountain, and at the Snowmass Mall & Village in the Highlands. These sightings were to help promote "Mission Peace" and to lobby within the community for a spot in the 2023 Aspen Film Festival. 

The multi-faceted campaign, driven by the Bigfoot Mascot, "Staunch" and a full range of entertainment including a YouTube channel; a Grammy-nominated multi-genre hip-hop band; an 18-episode one-hour radio show; and a comprehensive social media footprint that includes nearly 150 million views and streams of Staunch Moderates content.
