Social Media for Political Campaigns

A Wise Man Once Said, “Money is the mother’s milk of politics.” Like it or not…he was right.

Campaigns can cost-effectively raise funds and build support using innovative internet techniques.  Donor pockets aren’t as deep these days, and clients expect consultants to know how to maximize use of the internet with an integrated social media strategy.  Unlike direct mail and traditional advertisements, internet analytics will verify the effectiveness of each campaign communication.  You know instantly what works – and what doesn’t.

Social media is a communication tool that cannot be ignored.  Over a Billion people seem to like Facebook.. Keeping up with the technical aspects of social networking is the challenge.  The development of platforms like Facebook and Twitter change daily – offering opportunities, and malfunctioning sites if in-house staff is not up on the latest development.   Capitol Social has their finger on the pulse of the latest internet advancements.  You don’t have to keep up with current apps and algorithms, we’ll handle it for you.
