Your communications strategy needs to be well-thought out and effectively implemented.

Messaging for advocacy is a central skill you must master to win your advocacy campaign.

Expressing your support for the BLM movement and addressing the concerns of racial and social justice activists in your community will be essential parts of running a winning progressive campaign this year. That’s why Joe and Martín have devoted this episode to going over what you need to do to ensure your campaign appropriately and effectively engages the BLM movement and clearly demonstrates your support for racial and social justice.

If we had a crystal ball that could tell us exactly what the outcome of the presidential election will be, many of us would sleep a lot easier at night. But of course, we do not have a crystal ball, and instead we turn to myriad polls, models, and other predictors to try to tell what’s going to happen on election day. That’s why Joe and Martín spend this special episode breaking down the rationale behind some very wonky models as well as some very wacky ones. From looking at factors such as the performance of the economy to consumer trends like popularity of Trump Halloween masks to downright wacky predictors such as a Chinese mystic monkey, there is no shortage of ways to predict the presidency!ResourcesPresidential Election Predictions, Are They Accurate? | Predicting Elections 2020Wacky Ways to Make Presidential Election PredictionsConnect with us!If you have campaign questions or want to learn more, reach out to us using the contact information below.The Campaign Workshop: Twitter: @cmpwrkshpInstagram: @TheCampaignWorkshopEmail: marketing@thecampaignworkshop.comJoe FuldTwitter: @joefuldInstagram: @joefuldMartín Diego GarciaTwitter: @gmartindiegoInstagram: @gmartindiegoPresented by The Campaign Workshop

What do U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders, Angus King, and Lisa Murkowski and rapper Kanye West have in common? They’ve all been third-party candidates! But, three of them have been legitimate third-party candidates, and one is more of a spoiler. Tune in to this special episode to learn what a third-party candidate means for your campaign and how you need to respond. A third-party candidate running in your race could just be a perennial candidate who runs for office as a hobby, or it could be a real threat to your chances of winning. As Joe and Martín point out, the worst thing you can do is ignore them. Also be sure to check out The Campaign Workshop’s Where’s Kanye?

Grassroots fundraising is what powers the progressive movement. Small-dollar donations and people-power are the nuts and bolts of twenty-first-century campaigns.

ActBlue was used by every 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate and is on track to raise over $3 billion for Democrats by the end of the 2020 cycle. Alexis talks about how ActBlue makes it easy for donors to donate and how small-dollar donors have continued to stay active even in the midst of the COVID-19-induced economic downturn.

After months of door knocking, ad buying, hand shaking, picture-taking and town hall-ing, you might be tempted to think there’s nothing else to do come election day. False! You need to run an effective get out the vote campaign! Even if you convince your whole district to vote for you, it won’t matter unless they turn out at the polls on election day. That’s why in this episode, Joe and Martín teach you just how to do that. They give you the cold, hard truth about five of the biggest GOTV myths, discuss which voters to target for GOTV, and how to leverage social pressure correctly to nudge people to the polls. Martín sits down with the leading researcher on GOTV, Professor Donald Green of Columbia University, who literally wrote the book on GOTV. Professor Green breaks down what the research tells us about effective GOTV from what percentage of text message recipients will actually go to the polls to how low-budget campaigns can best leverage their resources to win.ResourcesGet Out the Vote: How to Increase Voter Turnout by Alan S.

In order to win your campaign, you need voters to know your name as well as your campaign message. That’s why it's important to invest in paid communications, and if you can afford it, a media consultant to guide you through media strategy and help produce advertising spots for TV, radio, and social media. But what makes eye-catching creative work and how many spots do you need to buy so your message is heard? Joe and Martín answer these questions and more in this episode to teach you about the importance of message consistency across platforms, how many times a voter needs to hear your message for it to resonate, and how to balance paid and organic media. Joe speaks with Colin Rogero to discuss the most important question you need to ask when choosing your media consultant, how to integrate your paid media and digital communications, and what small campaigns should do if they can’t afford expensive media like broadcast TV ad spots. ResourcesPaid Media vs. Earned MediaPolitical Advertising Agency vs. Traditional Advertising AgencyPros and Cons of Candidate Communication MediumsConnect with us!If you have campaign questions or want to learn more, reach out to us using the contact information below.The Campaign Workshop: Twitter: @cmpwrkshpInstagram: @TheCampaignWorkshopEmail: marketing@thecampaignworkshop.comJoe FuldTwitter: @joefuldInstagram: @joefuldMartín Diego GarciaTwitter: @gmartindiegoInstagram: @gmartindiegoPresented by The Campaign Workshop
