The last month has been fun mixing old and new methods of campaign engagement… mixing the doorstep challenge with social media engagement…
One thing I read just as my campaign began was about how the Green Party had achieved 50% of the under 24 vote in the last General Election, while the Tories got 50% of the over 60 vote…
This explains why the Tories main focus is on saving grandma 40p on her council tax! How very patronising but hey, it probably works. Thing is they are not that hot with social media and getting down with the kids.
Russell Brand has been saying for years “don’t vote” but only a few days ago changed his mind and has given Ed Miliband his support after an interview he did with Ed on his own TV Channel “The Trews” which has over 1,111,111 subscribers got over 1.2 million views! The chat he had with the Green Party got over 300,000 views… he is a man of influence and Cameron chose a negative tack which could well backfire.
I don’t have a million subscribers, more like 9 for the I Love Windsor blog… could do with a few more… sign up down the left 😉
But I do have access to social media channels and figured if I created a page with all the links on to all the stories from the last month, showing the most popular at the top, then on this, the last day I could share this page far and wide this morning… then spend the afternoon walking the streets, delivering my flyer to the last few houses on St Leonard’s Hill that haven’t enjoyed its words yet… posted this tweet yesterday from outside the home of my main competitor…
Love it when @RBWMTories neighbour says they'll be voting Independent and another says no-one else knocked my door 😉 pic.twitter.com/b87MtcUpJO
