The document outlines a strategic digital marketing plan for Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign. It includes an analysis of Cruz's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It also profiles the audience demographics and analyzes Cruz's competitors' social media strategies. The proposed strategy focuses on optimizing Cruz's website, mobile app, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube presence. Key recommendations include increasing content across platforms, real-time social listening, and targeting swing states and minority demographics. Timelines are aligned with upcoming debates and peak traffic periods. The budget proposes doubling spending on digital efforts to $22 million compared to Obama's 2012 budget.

Template Twitter Strategy for Government DepartmentsBreaking news
Strategy for corporate use of Twitter by Government Departments and other public sector organisations (potentially adaptable to private sctor Twitterers too). By Neil Williams, Department for Business, Universities and Skills. Includes information on how to use Twitter, objectives for a corporate Twitter channel, how to measure and evaluate return on your investment, Twitter risks and mitigation, how to promote your Twitter account, and best practice for producing effective Twitter content.
As government and elected officials join social media, they come face to face with citizens who are already there waiting for them. More than ever, social media is proving to be a useful platform for helping politicians connect to constituents, as well as citizens with their elected officials and government agencies. However, sometimes there is a disconnect between the two. Government officials have their agenda, but it isn’t always what people want to hear. On the other hand, constituents have expectations that politicians don’t know.
The government and politicians need to share their personality and promise with citizens, whether they’re constituents or not. The more they use social media to engage and open up authentically, the more trust will be built.
This webinar is an opportunity to explore with our expert panelists:
-How government can change to better relate to digital citizens?
-How government agencies can use social media to provide complementary communication and participation channels for citizens.
-What are the right channels to use to provide public service solutions and services, and interact with and conduct business with citizens.
-How people can use social media to improve how government works for politicians and citizens.

Analysis of us presidential elections, 2016Tapan Saxena
Purpose of this project is to analyze the 2016, US Presidential Primary election data to
predict who would be the final nominee from both the democratic and republican party
and draw many other insights as well.
'Israel-Palestine Conflict' is an ongoing conflict since the mid-20th century which has still not attained any settlement between the parties involved, it is also the conflict which has attracted lots of public opinions around the world with celebrities taking sides, public protesting around the world showing their support, foreign governments sending aids and condolences for the losses suffered, while the U.N and U.S trying to broker peace agreement between the masses which has seemed to fail each and every time! So I would like to highlight this never-ending conflict and come up with a resolution to this problem through this presentation.

Presented at MARCOM 2017 | www.marcom.ca
Do you know what impact your communications makes? How do you know if you are even communicating with or marketing to the right people?
As modern communicators, we instinctively know that our products and messaging needs to be designed with our audiences in mind and with measurable actions. Improving our ability to do so has certainly become easier with the widespread availability of online research and planning tools. With so many tools, which ones are most helpful to improving public sector efforts?
Designed in consultation with practitioners from federal, provincial, municipal, and international levels of government, this session will help you map and apply the essential tools for the modern public sector communicator. With a focus on low-cost and no-cost tools, the objective is to help practitioners identify opportunities to strengthen their current toolkits to increase the return on their efforts and campaigns.

SWOT Analysis
11. Rand Paul is a key competitor to Ted Cruz. Paul is a forward looking, very
open minded individual who can truly be compared to Obama.
His digital strategy includes constant Twitter updates, content related to
recent news surrounding Paul and latest videos.
Website and Application designs are worth mentioning as they keep the
users engaged.
Rand Paul
12. World renowned business man with the ability to fund his own campaign.
He is active on all known Social Platforms today but he is most active on Twitter.
He has over 3MM followers and people had been following him since his show
“The Apprentice” was a hit and people liked his business style.
Donald Trump
13. Wife of an ex-President itself is a good starting point for her.
Money and support are needed to run the campaign and most of her
contributions are coming in higher denominations from the elitist.
She has presence on all social outlets.
Hillary Clinton
16. 84,000 people on Facebook generated 120,000 interactions related to
O’Malley on the day of his announcement.
The campaign used Snapchat to tease O’Malley’s May 30 campaign
announcement in Baltimore and has continued to use it to share behind-the-
scenes moments on the campaign trail with Snapchat users.
Martin O’Malley
29. Goals
• Increase candidate awareness among
the voters
• Raise maximum money to fund the
election campaign
• Target the masses and spread growth
by word of mouth
30. • To achieve the goals, candidate must focus on the social

an ability to donate towards
the campaign.
Mobile Application

34. https://www.facebook.com/tedcruzpage
1.34 MM friends (likes) on Facebook
and 228k people are talking about Ted
Cruz
Additional page likes in last week 108%,
which means week before there were
under 17k likes.
This increase in traffic is due to the GOP
debate on August 6th
Indicated this platform can help Cruz
gain popularity and funding for the
campaign
Facebook
35. https://twitter.com/tedcruz
Almost 462k followers and 9,800 Tweets so far, compared to key rival Rand Paul
who has 664k followers there is an opportunity for Cruz to be more active on this
platform
Last Tweet was sent by Cruz on July 21st
2015, where was Rand Paul Tweets
over 12 times a day
Cruz should increase his content delivery on Twitter which will generate more
followers
Twitter
36. https://instagram.com/sentedcruz/?hl=en
As Instagram is the second highest social platform for adults, Cruz should put
focus on this and be more active
Only 11k followers and 129 posts, compared to Rand Paul who has 36k followers
To monetize through this platform, Cruz should update the URL listed above to
www.tedcruz.org that has an option for supporters to donate
Instagram
37. YouTube, the second largest search engine: Cruz has 23k subscribers on his YouTube
channel compared to Rand Paul who has 46k subscribers.
Last video update was one week back. More messages on this platform for citizens without
a cable connection will generate awareness
YouTube
39. Maximize activities on You Tube, Twitter and Instagram as these platforms are lagging
behind on current content
Get aggressive and hire top talent who can run real time analytics on multiple social
platforms and reply to messages as quickly as possible.
Due to the increased number of social platforms and much large number of users,
analytical tools like Hootsuite or Sprinklr must be leveraged to stay current on sentiments
among the social network communities.
Analytical tools can help identify the potential voters based on demographics especially
the Hispanic community (minorities, income and education level segregation)
Increase organic traffic and awareness of website and the mobile application by SEO; and
invest in paid media tactics to divert traffic to the website and the mobile applications
Digital Strategy Team should produce content to focus on the swing states
Recommendations
40. Social platform activity for all GOP candidates picked up right before the debate on
August 6th
. This is the key milestone
Monthly debates are scheduled for rest of 2015 and multiple debates each month starting
in 2016
Peak traffic is expected to be one week before, during and lasts one week after the
debate, which is how the content calendar should be planned
Content calendar should be in affect even if Cruz is not participating in debates
People are more actively looking and reading about the candidates during the week
days, which can also help plan when to deliver content during the week
Timelines
41. Due to emergence in technology, social platforms and a significant increase in number of
users, more budget and man power is needed to maintain social presence effectively
Obama spent $11.3 MM on IT and Digital Platforms in 2012. It is recommended to
increase this budget by 100% to $22MM for 2016 to account for additional head count
and investment in more effective analytical tools
Cruz’s digital strategy is handled by 10 employees. To manage the data explosion on all
social platforms effectively, it is recommended to increase the headcount to 16
employees
This additional cost will be offset by reduction in traditional print and TV media
advertisements
Budget
