“Changing the narrative”

Experts say that factual, objective and balanced stories will create an informed and objective electorate, while unfounded and biased reporting can cause misunderstanding and violence. The strategy is to leverage the media to strengthen Governor’s Abiola Ajimobi’s personal political profile, sustain his political relevance after handing over to another governor in 2019, mitigate the bad press and personality brand damage occasioned by the review of the Oyo State Chieftaincy law and coronation of new Obas in Ibadan, and spin the narrative in the public sphere around to his favour.

Execution
Influencing the conversation

We invited the media (print, bloggers and influencers) and developed content for press releases and blog posts whilst syndicating content (stories) across all influencing channels ( online and offline) to deliver maximum impact deliberately put together to drive talkability.We live in the internet of things. People read stories on the go. With that said, there is a very high tendency for people to have wrong perception of you when they read stories. So, we setup our expert team of content developers to curate content around reforms that will mitigate current news about his Excellency, Abiola Ajimobi. We leveraged our existing relationships with political editors to strategically place our content on relevant tier 1 online and offline platforms and setup online monitoring to track conversations, keywords around Oyo state government and his Excellency, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
