Since many QBNers (if not most) work in advertising, it might be a good time to congratulate whomever run this campaign.
It was absolutely brilliant propaganda. A proper logo. The choice and timing of changing taglines (did I say CHANGING? see?). Getting influential artists to produce posters (and blog about it). The brand is so strong, people have to be aware of it when choosing Gotham a.k.a. "the Obama font", he owns it now.
It was amazing how his middle name was smoothly avoided in the campaign - you won't even learn it from the bio on his website!Just so that it would be clear - I don't believe in Obama's proposed policies and his actions so far seem to confirm my worries (take his support for the Paulson scam). If I voted for him, it would be on a "lesser evil" principle.
Having said that I'm amazed with how this winning seems to have raised American spirit, at least from what I can see from here online.
It shouldn't be underestimated what it has suddenly done for the US worldwide, public relations - wise either.
Americans are no longer the baddies and I bet they're getting welcome back drinks in pubs around the world. That is probably good..
