" I was a first time candidate for our local school board. I was running against people with more experience as board members and candidates. 2g Strategies developed, coordinated and groomed me through a successful campaign. On election night I took an early lead and my lead only grew as the results were announced. I was last on the ballot, but first with the voters. "

Brand and Marketing Strategies
Solutions to build your identity, image, and platform

Identity Development:

A candidate, organization, or company must present an attractive to the public, and we work to develop skills and messaging that emphasizes positive attributes.  The messenger is always important.

Brand Development:

Successful campaigns are successful in building long-term, recurring identification.  The formulation of unique, but easily recognizable, branding icons are important in developing positive identification.

New Media Placement:

The explosion of social networking and Web 2.0 applications is expanding the media in which citizens are contacted.  Integrating these technologies into an effective strategy is critical at reaching most, if not all, age brackets and demographics.

Campaign and Organizational Tools:

Traditional communications are always critical to use in a well integrated campaign, too.  We create engaging and attractive campaign collateral that helps to augment other aspects of the campaign's operations.

Comparative Messaging:

Basing a message strategy on Leon Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, we help to formulate a message attractive to citizens that emphasizes the positives of your campaign, the negatives of your opponent's, and the comparatives that make your campaign, organization, or company preferable.

Communications Strategies:

Using the various methods of earned and paid media, we work with your campaign to ensure that the maximum amount of exposure is reached using the most cost-effective methods.

 

Operational Strategies
Solutions to plan, organize, and maintain your campaign

Strategy Development:

We work with your organization to develop targeting tools, and will provide the insight needed to create efficiently segmented lists.  We use methods that integrate objective statistical analysis with first-hand knowledge of the community and citizenry.

Campaign Management:

Implementing the campaign's strategy is a difficult task, and we can help to achieve a successful implementation, ranging from managerial oversight to highly specific roles.

Emergency Management:

Emergencies inevitably develop in any campaign.  When tough times call focused planning and execution, we work with your team to take command of the situation and engineer a positive result.

Coalition Building:

Relationships among key opinion leaders are critical in the successful launch and maintenance of a campaign.  We help to develop those relationships among our contacts and yours, leading to a well-positioned and unified campaign coalition.

Public Speaking:

Delivering your message means possessing crisp style and using compelling rhetoric.  Our experience in coaching and speaking in diverse contexts has helped us to hone the best skills that prove very successful.

Staff Training:

Leadership develops, and it recognizes the immense challenges ahead in any campaign.  Good leadership, though, also knows how to tackle complex problems in very simple ways.  Extensive experience in campaigns across the United States has helped us to find the common elements of winning campaigns that can be taught to any emerging staff leader.
