Video was one of the most effective Obama tools because it brought the blog and emails to life. Real people doing real things. Obama’s campaign had the reach of a TV network for free – 1830 videos, 162,000 YouTube subscribers, 20 million views, one billion minutes of footage plus a donate button. Three key types of video were used: (1) Live Streaming (2) Campaign Generated and (3) User Generated.

Video Value

  • Use bite-size chunks under 5 minutes,
  • let content be remixed with soundtracks and photos,
  • allow comments,

  • embed on your blog and Facebook.
  • Beware: Video extends the news cycle keeping both good and bad issues around for longer.

Action : Use Video to document what you do and share it via your blog.
