John:
As you know, I am completely committed to doing everything that I can to help Hillary win the Democratic nomination and the presidential election. That is why I am sending you this e-mail with an idea for consideration.
It is my understanding that one of the issues that the campaign has been grappling with has been trying to find effective methods to connect Hillary to the concerns of the middle and working class. It struck me that one of the ways this might be accomplished is through short “person in the street” interviews of 45-60 seconds with every-day people.
Therefore, I commissioned a pilot spot to test and present this concept. I think it has come out rather well. Please click on the following link to preview the video: https://vimeo.com/139954714
As I envision it, this would be one in a series of spots featuring different targeted segments (e.g., working single mother, family with college age children, minority youth in search of career opportunities and education). Each spot would highlight the needs and concerns of a different demographic but close with the same ending as on the demo.
If you like the demo spot, and agree that the approach has merit, I would be pleased to support the development of this “person in the street” series.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks
