“If not us, then who? And the answer is no one. So you kind of find the other gear that you didn't know you had and you just keep going no matter how hard it gets.”This week, Stephen Donnelly sat down for an exclusive with Lissie Ratcliff, former Chief of Staff to Daniel Andrews, for her first-ever public interview. With 14 years of experience in Labor government and opposition, Lissie shares her candid reflections on political strategy and communication, crisis management, and what it feels like to lose. From the key foundation stones that took Victorian Labor from opposition to government in 2014, to the relentless grind of implementing Victoria's Covid response (complete with 120 daily press conferences in a row), Lissie takes us behind the scenes of the three-peat election winning Andrews government in its most crucial moments.You may never have heard the name Lissie Ratcliff, but after this episode, you won't forget it.

Her work has helped millions of people understand and heal from toxic relationships.. whether with partners, parents, bosses, or friends.

In this episode of Campaign Trend, host Eric Wilson sits down with Ron Nehring, Director of International Programs at the Leadership Institute and former national spokesman for Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign, to discuss the critical gaps in campaign technology for down-ballot races.Nehring outlines five key challenges facing campaign tech developers: building affordable message testing tools for local campaigns, segmenting voters by engagement level using the "core vs. crowd" framework, translating digital insights into analog strategy, creating better feedback loops to replace unreliable polling, and developing tools that challenge prevailing political narratives.The conversation reveals why political insiders often struggle to connect with non-political voters and offers practical solutions for tech entrepreneurs looking to penetrate the fragmented world of local campaigns. Recorded at the Leadership Institute's studios following Nehring's presentation at ElectTech San Francisco.Subscribe on YouTube: Visit the Campaign Trend Website: Follow us on X Follow us on LinkedIn Subscribe to our Newsletter Become a Campaign Trend Insider

Managing a six-figure budget for Google Ads can be a game changer for your marketing strategy. In this episode with Google Ads expert Issy Johnson, we dive into effective strategies for maximizing your investment, focusing on the importance of creative, campaign diversity, and a test-and-learn mindset. We also discuss how to properly manage scaling budgets. Whether you're currently navigating a hefty budget or just curious about what it entails, we'll share valuable insights that can help you optimise your Google Ads performance.One of the standout themes in our conversation is the need for a more granular approach when scaling budgets. Instead of merely increasing existing campaigns, it's important to explore new campaign types and strategies, like Performance Max, which allows advertisers to diversify their approach and maximize their return on investment. Issy emphasizes that as budgets grow, so does the complexity of managing those campaigns, demanding a constant test-and-learn mindset to ensure that every dollar is effectively spent.Another key aspect we discuss is the importance of creative in Google Ads. With larger budgets, the need for diverse and compelling ad creatives becomes even more pronounced. Issy explains how creative testing and optimization should be a continuous process, leveraging AI tools to generate new ideas and keep the content fresh.We also touch on the significance of proper attribution and conversion tracking, especially when substantial funds are involved. Issy advocates for a robust understanding of how different marketing channels interact, suggesting that marketers look beyond Google Ads for comprehensive performance insights. This episode is packed with actionable insights, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to optimize their Google Ads strategy, particularly when working with six-figure budgets.Takeaways:When managing six-figure Google Ads budgets, having a diverse range of campaigns is vital for success. It's essential to continuously test and reflect on ad performance every two weeks to optimize strategies effectively. Attribution becomes increasingly important with larger budgets; consider using Marketing Mix Modeling for comprehensive insights. Scaling budgets requires a strategic approach; simply increasing spend without a plan often leads to poor campaign performance.Find the notes here: https://keepopt.com/263Download our ebook >> https://keepopt.com/ebook "500 Top Tips to Make Your eCommerce Business More Profitable" ****Get all the links and resources we mention & join our email list at https://keepopt.comLove the show?

About the Book Over the last decade, election campaigns in India have undergone a dramatic shift. Political parties increasingly rely on political consulting firms, social media volunteers, pollsters, data-driven insights, and hashtag wars to mobilize voters. What is driving these changes in the landscape of electioneering? The Backstage of Democracy: India's Election Campaigns and the People Who Manage Them (Cambridge UP, 2024) takes readers to the hidden arena of strategizing and deliberations that takes place between politicians and a new cabal of political professionals as they organize election campaigns in India. The book argues that this change is not reducible to a story of technological innovations alone. Rather, it is indicative of a new political culture where ideas of political expertise, the distribution of power within parties, and citizens' attitudes towards political participation have undergone a profound change. Marshalling an eclectic range of data sources, the book breaks new ground on how we understand the workings of India's electoral and party politics. About the Author Amogh Dhar Sharma is Departmental Lecturer in the Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford. After receiving his PhD from the University of Oxford, he was awarded an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) postdoctoral fellowship. His research explores the interface between politics and technology, political communication and histories of science and technology. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's podcast episode, we discuss our unofficial list of the most unexpected retailer campaigns this year. This month, our analysts Arielle Feger, Becky Schilling, and Sara Lebow (aka The Committee) put together a very unofficial themed list of the top eight retailers based on the most surprising marketing campaigns we've seen in the last six months. In this month's episode, Committee members Analysts Arielle Feger and Sara Lebow will defend their list against Senior Analyst Zak Stambor and Analyst Rachel Wolff, who will dispute the power rankings by attempting to move retailers up, down, on, or off the list.

We're talking about Medicaid folks, the public healthcare system meant to be our social safety net for anyone who can't afford private insurance and doesn't have access to healthcare from an employer. I'm sure most of you are aware of Medicaid — but what you might not know is just how many of our friends and neighbors land in that safety net every year. Over 70 Million people in this country rely on the Medicaid program for basic healthcare. That's 20% of Americans, or one out of every five people you meet. That means that even if you are not on Medicaid, the $880 Billion in cuts to the program proposed by congress will affect you or someone you love, and not in a good way. In fact, just today, researchers at Yale and UPenn released new research stating that the Trump cuts would cause over 51,000 additional Americans to die each year. For this episode, I'm joined by Jaron Benjamin, Deputy Chief of Campaigns from Popular Democracy to break down why we all need to care about stopping the cuts and act NOW, before it's too late! https://www.youtube.com/live/I4xu6zglswc?si=OmFDD5gezpbwppNq We need YOU to join the fight to save Medicaid!
