Episode” 183 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in new social audio platform, Chatter from 7-8am EST. It’s free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.

In today’s session, we dove into the multifaceted marketing strategies employed by Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. This discussion not only highlighted the innovative techniques Harris’ team has utilized but also provided a rich contrast with Donald Trump’s well-known tactics.

Harris’ marketing campaign offers a masterclass in political strategy, combining authenticity, strategic restraint, and innovative use of digital tools.

The 5 key takeaways from today’s session are: 

1. Kamala Harris’s campaign has emphasized user-generated content, social media literacy, building trust, authenticity, and storytelling to promote her candidacy.
2. Harris’s campaign has strategically used color psychology and brand identity to convey freshness, growth, and a new start.
3. Harris’s team has dealt with Trump’s bullying tactics by staying calm, assertive, and minimizing his importance rather than directly confronting him.
4. Developing resilience, self-esteem, and positivity are important strategies for handling political bullies.
5. Consistency and authenticity are key in political marketing, but campaigns must also avoid being predictable and plan for the worst-case scenarios
