Homework: Digital Marketing Media
The political campaign of then Senator Barack Obama has been hailed as one of the most dominant and effective marketing campaigns ever, taking an unknown Senator from Illinois and propelling him to become the 44th President of the United States. After database marketing and the use of the Internet and social media proved a key to winning the presidential election in 2008, the Obama campaign team vowed to exploit it even more during his 2012 reelection campaign. Personalizing communications and saying and doing the right thing for the right person at the right time are critical for marketing effectiveness, as marketers for the Obama 2008 and 2012 campaigns recognized.
