Campaign Strategy In An Age Of Information Abundance

Many think big data transformed politics. Both political observers and scientists have fixated on cutting-edge innovations in campaign data and technology coming from the top of the ticket. Numerous books and articles detail the influx of individual-level voter records compiled into large-scale databases that enabled high-resourced presidential campaigns to microtarget their outreach messages at smaller and smaller segments of the electorate. Existing scholarship assumes that these presidential practices have diffused down the ballot to reshape how lower-level campaigns communicate with voters. Yet no study to date tests these claims. This dissertation expands our understanding of data-driven campaigning by providing the first comprehensive overview of the electoral information environment. This project reveals how new sources of information have not fundamentally altered electoral politics. Even equipped with highly detailed information on voters and advanced statistical models, most campaigns lack the resources to engage in highly personalized outreach efforts and still must address strategic considerations that have long-defined politicking. I argue that the arrival of large voter databases has increased the efficiency of voter outreach activities but exacerbated longstanding tendencies to reduce voters to nothing more than electoral math. Central to my contention that individual records intensify strategic considerations are consistent party-level differences in how campaigns interact with sources of electoral information. This dissertation uncovers how Democrats and Republicans operate in vastly different data environments. Democrats not only share a party-wide voter database but also a mutual data culture that reinforces an approach to campaigning concentrated on leveraging data to maximize the return on investment for their outreach activities. Republicans meanwhile have not coalesced around a single platform or approach to data-driven campaigning. These observed differences lead to a divergence in campaign-level data preferences. Republicans continue to prefer the inferences coming from traditional polls and surveys, while Democrats default to accessing individual-level data on voters. To make these claims, this dissertation combines conversations with campaign professionals with careful analysis of millions of spending records made by thousands of campaigns for the U.S. House of Representatives between 2006 and 2018. These conversations help make sense of my findings and ensure my results reflect the realities of contemporary campaigning. I undertake an extensive review and refinement of this substantial number of records to recover campaign-level spending on data and outreach that, until now, have been unavailable to scholars. With these verified spending records, I provide the first thorough examination of electoral information marketplaces and campaign-level spending patterns over a period of marked technological change.

Before news organizations began putting their content online, people got the news in print or on TV and almost always outside of the workplace. But nowadays, most of us keep an eye on the headlines from our desks at work, and we have become accustomed to instant access to a growing supply of constantly updated stories on the Web. This change in the amount of news available as well as how we consume it has been coupled with an unexpected development in editorial labor: rival news organizations can now keep tabs on the competition and imitate them, resulting in a decrease in the diversity of the news. Peeking inside the newsrooms where journalists create stories and the work settings where the public reads them, Pablo J. Boczkowski reveals why journalists contribute to the growing similarity of news—even though they dislike it—and why consumers acquiesce to a media system they find increasingly dissatisfying. Comparing and contrasting two newspapers in Buenos Aires with similar developments in the United States, News at Work offers an enlightening perspective on living in a world with more information but less news.

The difference between helping and selling is just two letters If you're wondering how to make your products seem more exciting online, you're asking the wrong question. You're not competing for attention only against other similar products. You're competing against your customers' friends and family and viral videos and cute puppies. To win attention these days you must ask a different question: "How can we help?" Jay Baer's Youtility offers a new approach that cuts through the clut­ter: marketing that is truly, inherently useful. If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life.
