Fun With Phones – Flashback Friday

In early 2020, we launched a fun way to provide real world examples of how our clients put us to work for them – we called it “Fun with Phones.”

You can watch all of our YouTube videos here, but here are two of my favorites.

Right now is a great time to host a telephone townhall. They’re not just for candidates, they’re useful for elected officials to discuss and update constituents as well as interest groups. Watch the video to hear a fun story about some of the telephone townhall work we’ve done in the past.

 

And what’s better than a blooper reel? You might be able to tell, we take the work seriously but not ourselves and we know how to have a good laugh.

 

Have a great weekend,

Nicole Schlinger

Flashback Friday – Iowa Field Report

 

Nicole Schlinger Iowa Field Report

Here’s a fun flashback post – hoping way back to March 2020 when we were first beginning to navigate the pandemic, I spoke to Luke Martz at the Iowa Field Report about how campaigns were shifting in the way they communicate with voters.

 

It’s interesting to look back at how we were first understanding the way this would change campaigning and then compare it to where we all ended up on Election Day.

 

The CHQ team will still help you deliver results, whether through traditional methods or being innovative in your approach.

As an aside, check out the Iowa Field Report for all kinds of great Iowa insider stories and features, all with a right-leaning take.

Caucus Flashback

I’ve been spending some time recounting the history of CampaignHQ in my updates about selling our original building.

Mitt Romney Nicole Schlinger

I recently stumbled upon a couple of articles from The Des Moines Register, written by Jennifer Jacobs in 2011 that I thought would add more color to the storyline of what was happening for our organization during that time.

This article features Mitt Romney and his time in Iowa at that point. 

Many of my friends are featured in that article – like David Kochel, Christopher Rants, Jill Latham-Ryan, Doug Gross, Gentry Collins and the list goes on.

This is a write-up Jennifer Jacobs did when I signed on with the Time Pawlenty campaign.

Speaking of Jennifer Jacobs, she is now the Senior White House correspondent for Bloomberg News. She is always breaking news and continues to be a fair and dedicated reporter. You can follow her Twitter feed for many updates.

 

Thanks for reading,

Nicole Schlinger, President of Campaign Headquarters
