Editor's Notes
.
Having an idea allows you a presence in social spaces – gives you something to talk about and to provide constant updates.Obama is in touch all the time.Obama has revived the use of email, a secret weaponThis specific email was a very low-tech video of campaign manager David Plouffe outlining their general election strategy.Total transparency, insider access – helps build the sense of the movement and ownership in that movement by the community.Because a big idea will find supporters. It will encourage people to make connections.As a host, MyBo has done this very well. The site exists to connect people to others to keep the movement going.And gives them tools to organize and to lend their own voice to the campaign.Although obama is the most successful online marketer in political history (and arguably, among all brands in any category) he has done very little online advertisingSpent 3m spent online jan-apr 2008Spent 75m on tv through june70% of online is googleA large part of his rise can be attributed to his understanding and embrace of “change”.Change has been at the core of the Obama brand.Usually thought of in political terms, ie. change from Bush policies.But Obama has also been masterful at understanding cultural changes and their implications.Understood that social media and connectedness of individuals through technology had fundamentally changed, and could be used to his advantage.
