Guerrero suggested alternative strategies, including embarking on a marketing campaign bus tour of Las Vegas to engage voters on reproductive rights issues, or canvassing door-to-door in key battleground states. Despite initial appearances suggesting that the fine print was settling, I contacted the Harris campaign to gather more information.
“At a minimum, creators should commit to engaging their audience by presenting options for viewers to participate in the decision-making process through voting.” Despite feeling overwhelmed by the presidential election, Jeremy Jacobowitz, a New York City-based food influencer who has collaborated with the Harris campaign in the past, notes that there’s more to the polls than just state and city figures. Despite my reservations, I’m actually preparing several articles that delve into the reasons behind my decision to support Kamala.
This week, the Harris presidential campaign set up mobile hubs in New York City and Los Angeles, establishing areas where influential figures could produce get-out-the-vote content and engage in phone banking from state-of-the-art studios on Wednesday and Thursday. Creators will be required to participate in specific shifts and will have access to interview areas equipped with microphones, backdrops, and on-site production teams to expedite the development of high-quality content.
We dispatched an email to registrants, outlining our top-performing get-out-the-vote (GOTV) content examples, providing inspiration for creators. These included voting day reminders, planning-to-vote messages, targeted battleground appeals, and videos clarifying “what voting means” for the creative community.
Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation met with a group of conservative influencers last week at the Impact America event, including Emily Wilson from Emily Saves America, Savannah Chrisley, Rep. Sean Duffy, and Jules Urbach, founder of the Peter Thiel-backed RightStuff relationship app. Conservative influencer CJ Pearson, 22 years old, organized the event where content creators collaborated to coordinate their content for the next few weeks, focusing on key policy issues favored by the Republican Party, such as immigration reform and economic development.
“We brought together 30 influential young conservatives and a diverse audience of nearly 50 million people to discuss strategies for effectively engaging America’s youth where they are.”
The Affect America creators embarked on a tour of Fox News’ studios, where they participated in panels moderated by influential conservative content creators such as Isabel Brown and Xavier DuRousseau. Pearson directed me to facilitate an event akin to Y Combinator, where he would gather around 30 conservative creators and bring in a diverse range of audio experts to mentor them. The group included influencers with massive followings, such as a former DHS employee who could effectively communicate on topics like immigration to their combined 50 million followers up until Election Day.
