Praise for Branding Democrats
“The Webers are skilled writers … with a firm grasp of both 21st-century politics and marketing strategies based on consumer data, psychological studies, and even neuroscience…A convincing, practical case for immediately rebranding the Democratic Party.”
Kirkus Reviews
“The authors make excellent points throughout this book, and their advice will resonate with many. Democrats should find their recommendations valuable for the 2022 mid-terms and beyond.”
BlueInk Review
“All Democrats, from concerned citizens to party leaders, will benefit from their tough love and practical, reasonable advice.”
Clarion Review
“Branding Democrats combines serious branding expertise with a new political perspective. Too often insider ‘experts’ repeat the same old mistakes; this book gives us a concise and practical road map for fresh, smarter, and likely more effective approaches toward winning elections.”
Congressman Mark Pocan (D-WI)
“Democrats have ignored branding principles, and the country is paying the price. This is an important —crucial, in fact—and timely guide for Democratic candidates, party leaders, activists, and operatives.”
Les Francis, former Executive Director of both the DNC and DCCC
“This highly accessible book brings a much-needed, long-term perspective to the problem of Democrats’ fuzzy and often unattractive public image. The core idea, to build a strong brand that helps all Democratic candidates, deserves to be heard by a wide audience.”
Aaron Ahuvia, Professor of Marketing, University of Michigan–Dearborn and author of The Things We Love: How Our Passions Connect Us and Make Us Who We Are
“Branding Democrats is the urgently needed new playbook for how Democrats can focus on building the party’s brand for the long term. It should be required reading for anyone in Democratic politics.”
State Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick (D-NY)
