When he decided to run for Secretary of State, his campaign needed a comprehensive video marketing strategy to connect with voters, showcase his qualifications, and convey his vision for the state. Amore’s campaign team approached us to help them craft compelling video content to build name recognition and inspire voter confidence.

Strategy and Execution

We collaborated directly with the campaign team to develop a comprehensive video marketing strategy. By leaning into Gregg’s authentic story and leveraging creative concepts, we crafted a suite of videos that could be used across TV and digital platforms. The content balanced emotional storytelling with strategic messaging, ensuring maximum impact within the campaign’s budget and timeline.

Campaign Announcement

We created a campaign announcement video that captured Gregg’s background as a teacher, athletic director, and community leader. Featuring footage of him engaging with students, coaching, and spending time with his family, the video emphasized his genuine connection to Rhode Island’s communities. The script highlighted his commitment to transparency, fairness, and public service, aligning his personal values with the responsibilities of the Secretary of State’s office. This video served as a powerful kickoff to the campaign, setting the tone for subsequent messaging. It was shared throughout social media and in press releases, garnering much attention for going against the grain of a typical campaign intro video format.

TV Ads

For these flagship spots, we played off Gregg’s last name with the slogan, “That’s Amore.” The ads blended humor and heart, using upbeat visuals of Gregg engaging with constituents, interspersed with family moments and community events. The music and editing style reinforced a sense of positivity and trustworthiness. These spots aired widely on TV and online, ensuring that voters remembered his name and associated it with approachable leadership.

Testimonials

To maximize the campaign’s budget, we planned and executed a multi-day shoot that captured testimonials from several of Gregg’s past and current students.

By carefully scripting and scheduling these interviews, we produced a variety of testimonial videos highlighting Gregg’s character, dedication, and qualifications. The efficiency of this approach allowed the campaign to distribute fresh content consistently throughout the election season.
