The message matters, but so does how and where we tell the message. During the 2016 cycle, the digital team behind Chuck Schumer’s reelection campaign found that digitally optimized ads would perform significantly better in an online presentation than made-for-TV ads in terms of user engagement and view completion rates, and provide a measurable brand lift. In this training, we’ll show you what digital-first content is and review tests that prove its effectiveness, then we’ll teach you how to develop it yourself. Join us for an interactive discussion on digital-first content, and learn how digital organizers at every level can develop content that engages more activists and persuades and turnouts more voters.
Participants should attend our training with the goal of understanding the power of digital first content, and have the tools to produce it.
