Re: Signage

Adding Mike and Matt to weight in for Iowa and New Hampshire. On Thai c a pain we've almost picked a slogan from Veep and Nixon!

Now more than ever.” So, that should probably be disqualifying. Good catch, Binder. * Didn’t Nixon do that one? * Could also do the first in a slightly more empowering/positive light: *Now, more than ever. Vote.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Now, more than ever. Caucus.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *More than ever, your vote matters.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *More than ever, caucusing matters.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* * Like these a lot too. especially the first one and last one. And placing emphasis on voting/caucusing I think does raise the stakes and reminds voters that they have a solemn responsibility here. * I do think we need some freshness for the final push. And I don’t consider it merely semantic to say this is about “evolving” our sloganeering and visual branding, not “changing” it. They are certainly imperfect, and I’m sending more than I intended to (caving to the “speak now” piece), but here are some ideas that lean more heavily into the urgency/stakes: *Your vote has never mattered more.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Caucusing has never mattered more.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Caucus. It matters.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Vote. It matters.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Your vote, America’s future.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Your vote, our future.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Do it for your family. Vote.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Do it for our future. Vote.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* *Because America’s future is on the line.* *Hillary Clinton. President.* * Just to keep the balling rolling… Getting things done. for you. now. * + Teddy. Robby's take is that if we don't feel strongly about anything new as we group we should stick with what we have. Speak now or forever hold your peace. Thoughts on what Navin suggested?

We have to finalize it tonight if we are going to have new signage in January. If you have ideas please send.

I worry these two, while on-message, lack the galvanizing urgency required for the endgame (especially versus a “Join the Revolution” pitch happening on the other side). We have message to communicate, stakes to raise, and urgency to convey. In a perfect world, this endgame slogan would help our side with the emotive contrasts likely to evolve between now and February – Fresh v. Stale, Electric v. Static, Exciting v. Ho-Hum, etc. Anyway, still scribbling in the hopes something like that might emerge… * Ran these by John who asked if either of these would work. Copying John and Robby in. Results Progressive who gets things done (too long but is there a way to capture that) On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 4:40 PM, Mandy Grunwald <gruncom@aol.com> wrote: I'm for anything without "fight"...anything in our zone, not Sanders.

I'm not sure how we do that in a tagline. He asked if this group could you think about that. If we cannot hit on that do people have strong feelings about changing to Making a Difference for You, or stick with what we have? We don't have to change, but felt that Fighting for You wasn't right anymore and we wanted to signal a change for the closing stretch.

As you know I have never liked "It's your time" Your fights are her fights Getting it Done Gets the job done Has what it takes She's got what it takes My two favorites and I think we can use both: *Your fights are her fights* *She's got what it takes* These both go to her strengths and are completely on our message.

Right now we are using Fighting for Us. The only two other suggestions we have here are Join the Fight and It's Your Time​ to put the focus on voters, but realize neither really captures our message. If we are going to change the signs we need to finalize the new language by cob today to start production. I thought we would start this conversation and brainstorming via email, but if we want to get on the phone at some point today too that works. First, do you think we should change? Second, ideas on what the new sign should say? Once we have your input we'll loop in Robby, John and Huma to make a final decision.
