Put Campaign Strategy First. Lessons from a Political Strategy Firm.
As a campaign strategy firm that specializes in political and advocacy advertising, it is a consistent challenge to keep strategy as a primary consideration in a campaign. A variety of political concerns, such as creative and budget, can distract and even overshadow the pursuit of long-term and short-term strategic goals. Campaign tactics should compliment good strategy not impede it. Having clear defined goals can make a big difference.
The recent off-year elections may not have gotten a ton of national press, but for people living in states where major offices were decided, they were extremely important. In some ways, a campaign is a campaign, and your online communications program should be reflective of that. In others though, off-year elections are pretty different, and planning your digital strategy with those differences in mind can yield some great things.
The biggest issue? Less people are paying attention. This means you have to work even harder than before to get people to notice you.
