On this page, we give you insight on political marketing and how ambassadorship can help you achieve political marketing success.

What is political marketing?

Political marketing is nothing new. It is the process in which political candidates make use of marketing tools and techniques to reach out to potential voters.

The term political marketing is most used in the context of democratic political systems because the support of the masses is important for success. But it can be used in other political contexts too, such as with the goal to build a strong (personal) brand.

The coming of the Internet and social media platforms has changed the world of political marketing. Voters have a much broader voice, which is both an advantage and a threat in politics.

A lot of political organizations and politicians are exploring ways to better engage their (potential) voters, and few are exploring the possibilities of ambassadorship.

How can ambassadorship help me achieve political marketing success?

Ambassadorship is basically the online form of word-of-mouth marketing. As a politician, you act as a voice of the people. By using ambassadorship to amplify this message, you are tapping into new networks of potential voters.

Ambassadorship marketing is generating awareness for your campaign through the networks of your followers. The impact is usually much bigger because people trust people more than politicians.

Because your message comes through their friends, family and colleagues they trust, your message is actually been listened to and generates a bigger impact.
