Second international forum on political campaign management and governance 2023.
On the 16th of November, the leaders in the field of political campaign management with intricate expertise backed with years of experience in different political systems all across the world met in Washington, the cradle of big politics, to discuss the ongoing situation. This landmark event held exactly one year before the US presidential election, covered extensively the most important challenges facing the industry both nationally and globally such as polarization, the spread of disinformation and fake news, the integration of artificial intelligence into political campaigns, and the rising cost of elections.
Kateryna Odarchenko, a political strategist and consultant with experience in leading successful election campaigns in six countries, pointed out the fact that people in Central Asia and Eastern Europe do not believe in research as a tool in election campaign management, which is a significant distinction from Western (US, Canada) approach. Instead, they prefer to buy TV ads and run the campaign without prior investigation of the needs and demands of their population. The approach of Central Asian and Eastern European campaign managers was summed up by Kateryna as “We don`t have time for research – we have time for action.” Also, Kateryna pointed out an interesting correlation between democracy development and the use of research tools in election campaigns. Citing the Global Electoral Democracy Index of 2022 updated with data from 2023 (see pic. 1), Kateryna showed how countries with low democratic development usually do not resort to research and do not check voters’ attitudes after the election itself. However, the research has proved to be highly effective in understanding your audience to figure out its key issues at that moment in time and building a successful strategy with less expenses on things, which are not in demand by the population.
