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.

Why Democrats Keep Losing the Working Class with @Off_JaWaggon
In the 70th episode of Branding Democrats, we reconnect with returning guest Jordan Waggoner, known across social media as @Offjawaggon. Together, we dive deep into the post-election landscape, talk about why Democrats fell short and the role messaging, strategy, and complacency played in the outcome.
We begin our conversation talking about the GOP's media dominance, including their use of social media and red-pill propaganda pipelines to galvanize their base. We compare this to Democrats, who clearly lack of cohesive branding and are relying on outdated strategies, celebrity endorsements, and ineffective ad consultants while ignoring relatable, grassroots creators.
We talk about Trump’s "Kamala broke it, Trump will fix it" messaging and why such taglines resonate with disengaged voters. We explore the need for long-term branding, unified messaging, and better outreach to rural and blue-collar communities, who often feel left behind by Democratic campaigns.
Jordan shares his insights into Republican infrastructure, the importance of connecting with disillusioned voters, and why Democrats must embrace creative, authentic messengers to resonate with everyday Americans.
Tune in for a candid episode that challenges the Democratic Party to rethink its approach and strategize for a stronger future. Plus, hear more about Jordan’s own podcast, Let Them Eat Toast, and his plans to continue the fight online.
