A consistant brand is something you will need to work at.
Things move fast and YOU need to serve as
a quality control officer.
Learn photoshop.

![Page 18: New Media on the Deval Patrick Campaign](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/5560e666d8b42aa65e8b507e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Seriously.

So we looked elsewhere for inspiration
![Page 20: New Media on the Deval Patrick Campaign](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/5560e666d8b42aa65e8b507e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
And we defined our objectives
Drive compelling messages and display
content.
Convert donors and volunteers.

Keep your goals in mind.
Don't do what everyone else is
doing.

Other Networks
Other networks are critically important, but we were never able to tap into them
effectively

Create and distribute good content.
Empower and train your supporters.
Look beyond the big two.
If you are a brand, Facebook sucks.

an area that is only growing.

Best results from Youtube, Hulu and

You can do a lot with a little.
It will increasingly become part of the

New Media is still in flux. It means different things from organization to organization.
That is a challenge and it is an opportunity.

Every Campaign is a media campaign. Everyone should be producing and distributing media.
As such, you need to know how to talk to reporters, write press releases, tweet, take and edit photos and
video, advertising online, and understand web analytics.

Obnoxious (and Unsolicited) Advice
Take notes in meetings.
Learn to copy-edit.
Wherever you go, learn to use the phones.
Learn photoshop and final cut, or at least iMovie. Also learn html and CSS (it isn't hard).
Keep in touch.
