AAPC hosted a discussion
 with experienced media consultants as they discussed the importance of authenticity
 in political campaign imagery. Key takeaways:  
- 
Royalty
 Free vs. Editorial Content. Turn to the editorial library when looking
 for an image of a specific place, time, person, event, etc. Access the royalty-free
 creative library when looking to illustrate an idea. There are different uses
 for both types of content. A common use case for editorial content is using images of an opponent.
 
- 
AI Generated Content. Remember the importance of authenticity.
 Voters tend to trust campaigns that use REAL images, not AI-generated content
 
- 
Mitigating Risk. It is crucial to document EVERYTHING! Save the
 image number, know where the image came from, know who took the photo, the source,
 the location, etc. It’s also in your best interest to get multiple sets of eyes
 on the content you’re working on
 
- 
Coherent Brand Image.
 Try to tell a story. What was the last ad the viewers saw in the campaign, and
 what do you want them to see next? Try to bridge that gap by taking the viewers
 on a journey. Ensure there are common elements throughout (logos, colors, design choices, etc)

AAPC hosted a fireside
 chat with top political experts from Arena and Prompt.io on pivotal strategies
 for the 2024 elections. Key Takeaways: 
- 
Target
 Gen Z and Millennial voters using direct mail. Since a large number of
 this audience are cord cutters, mail is one of the most effective ways to reach them
 
- 
Don’t just text voters to ask for money. Texting can be used
 for polls, surveys, election information, etc. You are more likely to get your
 texts blocked by voters if you are only texting for money grabs
 
- Start
 with the basics. It’s easy to get wrapped up in new tech and outreach
 opportunities. Look into voter trends, past election results, etc. What will turnout
 look like? Start your path to victory from there
 
- 
Don’t underestimate
 the versatility of social media. Social media can be a HUGE fundraising
 tool for your campaign or organization while also being used to showcase messaging and imagery
 
- 
2024 will be the year of the text. Texting will play a larger
 role in this cycle than it ever has before
