A Winning Messaging Strategy

Johnny from our Public Relations team shares his ideas …

One word that was bandied around by political commentators to explain Donald J. Trump was the word ‘demagogue’. A quick assessment with dictionary.com gives this interpretation:

” an individual, especially an orator or political leader, who acquires power and also popularity by arousing the feelings, passions, as well as prejudices of the individuals”

Our great buddy the Cambridge Thesaurus states:

” a person, especially a politician, that wins support by amazing people’s emotions rather compared to by having great concepts”

Certainly, Trump’s less-than-coded statements concerning Muslims as well as Mexican individuals seem to have assisted him to hoover up voters with these prejudices.
His incredibly regular use ‘Uneven H’ on Twitter to explain his opponent also made disgust and emotion a vital component of his social networks messaging approach, scooping up the affection of, as well as galvanising, those that really did not such as Hillary.

The Donald’s campaign was seen by many as extremely policy-lite. Naturally, apart from his pledge to develop a huge wall, a lot of Trump’s emphasis got on a catchy, remarkable slogan.

Now, don’t claim we really did not caution you concerning the success of memorable slogans. During the EU vote back in June, Vote Leave won with a clear, straightforward messaging method that aroused enjoyment, optimism as well as hope – ‘Reclaim Control’.

Trump’s rallying cry ‘Make America Great Again’ ticks all the right boxes. By using passion, emotion as well as perhaps bias, Donald’s PR team have actually gained from the success of the Leave campaign as well as have actually reaped the rewards.

It appears that Boris Johnson as well as Donald Trump have more alike than the very same dodgy barber.
