Mobilized campaign workers, public appearances, devised and implemented campaign strategy and targeted get out the vote operations in congressional bellwether district in which the congressional seat changed party hands several times (with same candidates/office holders). When appointed to post poll had incumbent senator down by 6 points and by election night district was won by 8.
The Government of the Bahamas
Free Media created an international brand and investment marketing program for the Government of The Bahamas and Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham. Bringing new investment to the Islands of The Bahamas was a central plank in the Prime Minister’s 1992 campaign platform and delivering on this promise was crucial to his re-election in 1997.Twelve investment missions were organized in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. At each venue we arranged a complete program of seminars, media events, speaking opportunities, and private meetings with identified potential investors. Brand new marketing materials, such as videos, investment and trade brochures, and press kits were produced in eight languages. Our effort helped generate more than $20 million in investment.
