Eric elaborated on what have been some of the major obstacles for candidates to heavily engage in an organic video strategy:
Small online marketing teams.

Really devoting the time and resources have been a manpower issue.” Despite this limited manpower, each candidate’s YouTube channels have actually been performing very good.
Traditional conversion goals. Most online marketing for candidates have been about ROI and direct-response, i.e., fundraising. “Even though both candidates did a really good job in the social search space, their unique online ads were confined to display and search, rather than video content.” says Eric.
