Harfoush : "Obama quería que todo el mundo pensara en cambio”

Rafah Harfoush dice que “Obama quería presentarse en aquellos estados en los que tradicionalmente no se hace campaña porque se sabe que se va a perder y para eso hacía falta hacer un uso muy efectivo de Internet”.

Para Harfoush, los factores que han propiciado el éxito de Obama en las últimas elecciones son cuatro: el poder de una estrategia en una campaña integral de medios de comunicación (“Obama utilizó Facebook y fue un éxito”): la organización en la red tiene que completarse con una organización en la calle (“conseguir que personas de todas las comunidades fueran a votar. Tuvimos una estrategia para animar”); una marca y mensajes coherentes (“establecer unas directrices muy claras de colores y pensamientos. Obama fue muy estricto, quería que todo el mundo pensara en cambio”); y había que ser interactivo (“había que recordar el mensaje. Primero facebook, luego Myspace, más tarde Twitter y al final los blogs”).

Public Affairs

Navigating the intersection of markets, governments, policy, politics and public opinion is an increasingly challenging and important role for management teams and boards of directors. Operating in major political capitals and key emerging markets, Weinsteiner Consulting helps organizations set strategies to engage with public policy stakeholders in compelling and effective ways. We provide clients with the expertise they need to analyze, advise and deliver across these critical areas. Campaigns using media relations, digital strategies, advertising, grassroots organizing and lobbying to influence decision makers make up a public affairs initiative. Public affairs campaigns are intended to impact specific governmental actions or decisions by shaping public opinion. Weinsteiner Consulting specializes in integrated public affairs campaigns and our record of success is unparalleled.

Marca política

Weinsteiner Consulting works with government organizations and political campaigns to help them understand emerging issues in order to develop strategies that enable them to realize their individualized goals. Our extensive experience ensures that our clients can identify and refine messages that resonate with their key audiences using creative, unique, and efficient avenues for message delivery. In order to develop a tailored strategy for our clients, our work plan begins with accurate qualitative and quantitative research to understand the political environment. Weinsteiner Consulting would provide specific recommendations to construct or improve your message, as well as execute its delivery. Weinsteiner Consulting is also able to provide you with grassroots solutions for a comprehensive connection to your electorate.

Advocacy

Advocacy advertising allows you to define an issue of public debate on your own terms in order to shift public opinion and activate your audience. When properly executed, constituents (electors) become the amplifier for your message and the vehicle for affecting (afectar, comprometer) policy, legislation, and broader public opinion. However, because advocacy advertising promotes a point of view rather than a product or service, it requires a different approach to both creative development and media buying than traditional commercial advertising. At Weinsteiner Consulting we have extensive experience in this area. We tap into the triggers that motivate your audience through public opinion research and leverage these insights across a comprehensive (integral, extensor, exhaustive) media strategy. We create award-winning campaigns that touch your audience on issues that matter to them. What happens in the courtroom is only part of the battle. Allegations can travel the Internet at warp speed and spread virally, generate national media exposure, activate special interests and mobilize organized opposition. Successfully navigating today's complex world of legal affairs demands sophisticated legal strategy, and equally sophisticated communications strategy. At the intersection of business, law, government, politics and media, we are uniquely positioned to serve our clients in this arena. We employ a proven two-pronged approach: conditioning the environment outside the courtroom or hearing room with the desired legal outcome in mind, while safeguarding our clients' reputations, brands and business imperatives (fundamentals) from the allegations at issue. We specialize in high profile, sensitive and complex litigation.

Nuestro servicio de Advocacy en Weinsteiner Consulting

Con las campañas de advocacy, de construcción de escenarios y adhesión, planteamos y organizamos un debate que se está dando o no en la arena pública en nuestros términos.Con el objetivo de sacudir a la opinión pública, obligar a los stakeholders a reposicionarse y activar a la gente, y a los que compran un determinado mensaje dentro de la población, y se convierten en amplificadores del mismo, en el vehiculo para influenciar a los tomadores de decisiones, tanto en el estado como en el sector privado, dentro de la prensa y el universo mediático, como en el ámbito de los legisladores, de los jueces y hacia adentro de la opinión pública. Se impone hoy más que nunca, desarrollar abordajes diferentes del que desplegamos en el proceso creativo y la compra de medios tradicionales. Hay que implementar los disparadores correctos que impactan con profundidad en los diferentes públicos, con investigación, estrategias, tácticas, desarrollos quirúrgicos y planificación en tiempo real. Como decimos en Weinsteiner Consulting: The plan is nothing, planning is everything, el plan es nada, planear es todo. En los tribunales se juegan solo algunos minutos del partido, importantes, pero no cierran el resultado ni para bien ni para mal. Los jueces no viven en otro planeta, y lo que se produce en las cortes, viaja viralmente a la velocidad de la luz via Internet y la Web 3.0. generando exposición mediática, emociones, activando intereses sectoriales y específicos y movilizando grupos a favor y en contra. En la intersección de los negocios, el gobierno, la política, la justicia y los medios, trabajamos dos líneas estratégicas 1)Construir el entorno mas conveniente y favorable para condicionar a los actores y obtener el resultado buscado 2)Preservar y blindar la reputación de nuestro cliente, sus marcas y los fundamentals de sus negocios en curso, de acusaciones, difamación y construcción de anclajes negativos. Ganar un juicio o una batalla comercial es una cosa, preservar la reputación es otra muy diferente. Sobre todo en causas de alto perfil, sensibles y complejas, estableciendo los clivajes mas eficaces, saliendo de la lógica defensiva de solo responder, organizando el debate, para definirlo y ganarlo.

Our approach

“Know your audience.” Everyone says it, but we truly know how to do it. We’ve spent years defining and refining proprietary research methods that get us to the heart and soul of your audiences—their perceptions, motivations, desires and needs. Then we turn our eye toward your organization—studying your people, processes and competencies; illuminating the real value of what you do and deliver; and evaluating every touchpoint of your brand experience from the outside-in. Armed with a deep understanding of your situation, we deconstruct the elements that truly define your organization and the experience it provides, then reconstruct your brand around a framework of Purpose, Promise, Values and Voice. This framework becomes the bedrock for crafting or evolving each and every touchpoint to reinforce your brand, enhance customer experience and deliver against your business metrics. Our holistic, audience-centered strategies ensure your brand shines through loud and clear—on touchpoints large and small, strategic and functional—throughout the customer journey. Our goal is to distill the essence of what is important, unique and compelling to you and your audiences. Eliminating all the clutter, we allow your true, simple and meaningful brand experience to emerge with a fresh perspective. At Weinsteiner Consulting, we value and trust our clients as the dedicated experts you are. Together, we can challenge the status quo and set new standards of excellence.

Vision

Brand is an invisible mark that imbues the owner’s personality onto everything they do, own, produce, look like and sound, and which allows others to perceive it instantly and intuitively. Brand Goes Live. Media space has invaded reality. Things become public the moment they happen. There is no time to rehearse or edit anymore. In the not so distant future, everything we see, hear, feel, think, do, will instantly become available to the audience attuned to our frequency. No time to prepare. Nowhere to hide. In the real-time, instantly-shared reality, things can no longer be branded by pasting a logo over them. Instead, the tell-tale of the brand is the very way the things and people are: how they are made or look, how they operate and communicate. Brand symbols have evolved from manicured images to the unedited natural reality of the things they represent.

Stakeholder engagement

We specialise in getting our clients’ points across to those who matter The foundations for reaching and convincing the right people are first identifying who and where they are, and second benchmarking their attitudes and opinions towards you. Building on this, we organise stakeholders into tiers so that it is clear which are highest priority and which need a lighter touch. Having identified the audiences, we help our clients construct the right engagement strategy and find the messages that most resonate with each group of stakeholders. We can then move into the practical phase of the programme, providing logistical support around meetings or events, and tracking the client’s exposure to its audiences.

Strategy and message development

Developing a clear strategy — to govern messages and align activity — is the single most important element of successful communications Messaging We amplify support for issues that affect our clients by identifying, recruiting, educating and mobilizing local support in lawmakers' home states and districts. Through creative grassroots endeavors we mobilize grassroots sentiment for legislative action. With an extensive campaign background and a team of professionals skilled in both the political and corporate arenas, we provide a unique, effective approach to achieving goals, seizing opportunities and solving problems for our clients. We help our clients identify their key communications objectives, and develop, test and apply clear messages across multiple platforms.
