  • An Exploratory Case Study Focusing on the Creation, Orientation and Development of a New Political Brand; the Case of the Jury Team
    An exploratory case study focusing on the creation, orientation and development of a new political brand; The case of the Jury Team 1 Introduction Political marketing can be defined as the application of commercial marketing theories, concepts, orientations and tools to the political environment (O’Cass 2001; Speed et al. 2015). It has evolved significantly as a sub-discipline of marketing since the seminar work of Lock and Harris (1996) and now represents a sophisticated area of study “beyond the black arts of propaganda” (Harris and Lock 2010:297). Further, political marketing scholars have considered the marketing management process of intelligence gathering, objective setting and the implementation of political campaigns and programs to produce efficient and effective relationships between political entities and the electorate (O’Cass 2001; Ormrod and Henneberg 2011). However, despite progress made within the political marketing arena, more empirical understanding is needed as this will allow the sub-discipline to advance and continue to develop (Harris and Lock 2010). This includes a paucity of comparative studies within political marketing (Baines et al 2011; Ioannides 2010; O’Cass and Voola 2011; Smith and Speed 2011). Political marketing can only develop it if continues to apply new concepts or reapply advanced theories and frameworks (Speed et al. 2015). One area within political marketing that continues to offer a wealth of insight yet remains under-researched is the application of political branding (Harris and Lock 2010; Lock and Harris 1996; Nielsen 2016; Scammell 2015). Indeed, French and Smith (2010:460) argue that, “the concept of political parties as brands is now commonplace and part of a general dispersion of branding from its original, consumer marketing origins”.

Beatrice Barleon did valuable work that is reflected in the European sections. Thank you also to Ashley Dé for his efforts in bringing it to publication, and to Tom Carpenter for design work. Several Regional Returning Officers, and Adam Gray, helped with obtaining local detail on the European election results. Any errors of fact or judgement are my own. County and European elections 5 June 2009 7 Executive summary 1. In the European elections only 43.4 per cent 9. Many county councils now have lopsided supported either the Conservatives or Labour, Conservative majorities that do not reflect the the lowest such proportion ever. While this was balance of opinion in their areas. connected with the political climate over MPs’ expenses, it merely continues a long-term 10. This is bad for democracy because of the trend of decline in the two-party system.
