What You’ll Learn
- Understand the difference between a campaign message and messaging
- Establish consistent messaging on your campaign
- Tailor and frame your campaign messaging
- Reach voters with your message
Why This is Important
Ownership of your campaign’s message and messaging are at the heart of your work as a communications professional, and your candidate’s story and policy priorities are at the heart of intentionally constructed messages. Campaigns that consistently articulate well-tailored messages and connect to their many audiences will be much more likely to succeed than those that adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to communication.
