Personal Branding
Developing and promoting a distinctive image of a political figure to the public. Example: Barack Obama's use of the 'Hope' and 'Change' message during his 2008 campaign.
Visual Identity
The visual elements used consistently by a political party or candidate to create recognition and association. Example: The consistent use of red, white, and blue in the logos and campaign materials of American political parties.
Grassroots Campaigning
A bottom-up approach to campaigning where the general public or community members advocate for a candidate or policy. Example: Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, which relied heavily on volunteer activism and small donations.
Political Slogans
A short, memorable phrase used to encapsulate a political ideology or campaign. Example: Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' in his 2016 presidential campaign.
Issue Ownership
A party or candidate's reputation for expertise or competence in a particular area. Example: The Republican Party is often perceived as better at handling economic issues and national security.
Dog Whistle Politics
Use of coded language that appears normal to the general public but has a specific connotation for a targeted subgroup. Example: Politicians talking about 'states' rights' as a euphemism to appeal to voters with conservative views on race.
Rebranding
Changing the public image of a political entity to better appeal to voters or signify a shift in ideology. Example: The UK Conservative Party’s 'detoxification' process under David Cameron to move away from the 'Nasty Party' image.
Brand Alignment
Ensuring that all messaging and actions are consistent with the established political brand. Example: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s consistent endorsement of progressive policies to align with her brand as a young, progressive leader.
