CTV News: Municipal election campaign expected to ramp up in the coming weeks
The campaign manager for mayoral candidate Tim Cartmell and the Better Edmonton political association said while they have been campaigning since the start of the year, things will ramp up in the coming weeks.
“You’ll start to see a lot more of the digital ad buys starting to roll out,” Alex Hryciw told CTV News Edmonton. “We’ll also be employing a media buy as well so that’ll look like advertisements in the Edmonton Journal, advertisements on billboards as well. Advertisements on the sides of buses.”
She said the campaign team has experimented with mass texting and has seen a positive response overall.
“When we deploy an opportunity to kind of live text back and forth with Tim, we see a really good return on investment in that,” Hryciw said.
“That’s easier for somebody because it’s in the moment, they have their phone in their hand and they’re ready to ask a question.”
“You kind of have to try and push all the buttons, and then you’re covering all of your bases and getting a very good kind of voter interaction.”
