  • “It’s not just press releases and ads”

    How refreshing to listen to this podcast on political marketing.

    The host, Benedict Pringle, doesn’t dominate as so many other interviewers do. Instead he draws out his guest with questions which enable them to shine.

    In this episode Professor Jennifer Lees-Marshment shows why she’s so highly regarded as one of leaders in the field of political marketing.

    To hear her refer to a policy as a “product” gives you a shock. And tells you how far away most politicians and their politics are from their ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Polling & Political Strategy: An Inside Look
Q: If you could give any strategy team one piece of advice on the use of polling, what would it be?
Avoid assuming a policy is universally popular with a target group; always assess the policy's credibility, potential trade-offs, and how it sits in the broader policy platform before pushing it.
Polling & Political Strategy: An Inside Look
Q: What are the nuts and bolts of a political segmentation?
Segmentation groups voters by views and demographics to create clusters that reveal differing policy priorities and levels of influence in different constituencies, guiding both national and local messaging.
Polling & Political Strategy: An Inside Look
Q: As an insider, could you give us a sense of the reality of polling in politics?
Polls can reflect both gut instincts and real data, but the key is to integrate polling with policy credibility and consider how policies will be received in the round, not in isolation.
The science of attack ads
Q: What makes negative ads informative or substantive compared to positive ads?
Negative ads tend to discuss policy differences and issues rather than generic values, offering new information or perspectives that can inform voters, though effectiveness depends on context and timing.
The science of attack ads
Q: Why are all election ads so negative?
The guest explains that negativity captures attention, can evoke emotional responses that prompt political action, and that advanced ad design has built decades of experience in crafting messages that resonate, making negative ads a persistent feature of campaigns.
