Branding Democrats
Welcome to the Branding Democrats podcast – your field guide to helping Democrats win before it's too late. Our hosts, Ken and Daryl, are renowned industry experts and authors of the book Branding Democrats: A Top-to-Bottom Reimagining of Campaign Strategies.
The truth is: Democrats suck at branding.
Branding Democrats is the solution. With our expertise in messaging and branding, we’ll lay out a process to transform the public's perception of Democrats, repositioning the party as the people who genuinely care about the well-being of all Americans.
We examine the current political landscape and some notable case studies of failing Democratic campaigns of the past. We'll show you how to brand Democrats as the party that "fights for the people", how to make that branding personal, and how to differentiate Democratic policies from those of Republicans that prioritize corporations and the wealthiest Americans.
Let's help Democrats save America from the crazies. Tune in to the Branding Democrats podcast today.
Branding Democrats
Election Eve with @RTPTalks
In this pre-election episode of Branding Democrats, we are joined by Jay, known as @RTPtalks on TikTok, to unpack the final days before Election Day. With just a few days left, the discussion begins with the latest polling data, which shows a 50/50 split, and dives into the potential impact of key demographics, particularly women voters. Jay emphasizes that this election has always been about women—the most educated and influential demographic—who have the most to lose. We explore whether the increased turnout and breaking away from Trump among women voters will be enough to secure a victory for Kamala Harris.
The conversation shifts to voting obstacles both in the U.S. and abroad, highlighting the growing complexities of absentee voting and the impact of GOP-led voter suppression tactics. We stress the importance of maintaining momentum for down-ballot races and continue to critique Democratic messaging. We discuss how Democrats often play defense instead of taking an offensive stance on major issues like climate change, gun reform, and dark money in politics.
With optimism, Jay envisions a post-election strategy focused on dismantling MAGA's influence through targeted messaging and engaging moderate Republicans. We reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing the Democratic Party, emphasizing that winning elections is not just about this cycle but building a sustainable future.
We wrap up with a sobering reminder of the stakes involved, discussing issues from Supreme Court challenges to the real risks of a contested election. We explore the potential consequences of GOP strategies to undermine democracy and conclude with a hopeful yet urgent call for action and vigilance as the election approaches.
