“We’ve made incredible advancements in utilizing social media for our political candidates”, said Eric Linder, President of eMotiv Marketing.  “I think the reason that we’ve had such a great success is because we attract candidates that aren’t afraid of using this new means of delivering their message.  You really need to have a good social media strategy to win elections nowadays.”

Ethan Temianka also attributes his clients success to social media.  “We have the metrics.  Sometimes half a website’s traffic comes from social networking,” claims Ethan.  “So just in web traffic alone, we double exposure.  That doesn’t include all the exposure candidates get through status updates, causes, events, etc…”

“Within the last few weeks, there have been a lot of new social media tools developed,” explains Eric Linder.  “Some of these tools will play a big part in winning elections in November.  It’s a good opportunity for Republicans to beat the Democrats in the technology race.”
