Marketing Influencer - Gerrymandering Campaign (Vendor/Contract)
Campaign Background
RepresentUs is engaged in a national campaign to end partisan gerrymandering. As part of that effort, we are launching an experiential marketing campaign called “Gerry’s Partisan Pizza.” We will open up a pop-up pizza joint over 3 days in Austin, TX that delivers free pizza - and information about how to stop gerrymandering - only to voters inside an absurdly shaped district. The various assets around the store - website, pizza boxes, menus, delivery cars, informational videos, etc - will educate voters about gerrymandering. Once the pop-up shuts down, we will launch a national tour through states most at risk of gerrymandering (NC, FL, PA, MD, and WI) over two weeks. The centerpiece of the tour will be a pizza truck that can carry on the branding and educational components of the campaign (and, of course, pizza).
Project Overview
RepresentUs is looking for a full-service influencer marketing vendor to create and execute on a strategic plan for bringing influencers into the Gerry’s Pizza campaign. Our goals are to generate as much reach and visibility on this campaign as possible, so we should focus primarily on activating influencers with large followings and secondarily on local influencers in the cities where our pop-ups are happening.
