Campaign Metaphors

 
Root Metaphors The approach draws on campaign metaphors from several walks of life:
  • Political—Stay on message. Build coalitions. Capture events and venues. Roster a war room to set strategy and direct volunteers. Define the opponent.
  • Advertising—Dramatize the benefit. Hook the target emotionally. Simplify and focus.
  • Military—Seek advantageous terrain. Pick beachheads carefully. Tend supply lines. Consolidate gains.
  • Public Health—Target those around the real target. Leverage early adopters.
  • Fundraising—Build a campaign chest before you go public. Develop a case for support. Manage momentum.
Each metaphor admittedly has a dark side, and some will resonate more than others for particular projects or particular people. As with any metaphor, the value lies in using it as a window on fresh thinking.
