Why I’m here
@giorodriguez The Silicon Valley Story Lab �
I advise organizations on cross-cultural communication strategies, and I had a role in the 2012 election. During the 2016 election, I participated mostly as a “student” of the campaigns.

i. Content
It used to be about paid and earned media. This election was more about earned and owned media.

i. Content
It used to be about paid and earned media. This election was more about earned and owned media. We’ve entered the age of “big content.”

ii. Data
Big content today trumps big data, despite our obsession/addiction to the latter. But not everyone got the story wrong.

iii. Groundgame
Big data can help with the groundgame -- i.e., getting out the vote -- but the parties have caught up with one another … with a partner strategy.

iv. Demographics
The long-term challenge for America is inclusion (gender, race, ethnicity, creed, age). But with the wane of the labor movement, a key constituency of the Democratic Party may have been left behind.

The long-term trend may be toward inclusion. But with the wane of the labor movement, a key constituency of the Democratic Party may have been left behind. Ask: where do people live?

closing thoughts
The Silicon Valley Story Lab �@giorodriguez
One
The need for Americans to go beyond the reconciliation of gender, race, ethnicity, creed, and age. The next reconciliation is around class.
The Silicon Valley Story Lab �@giorodriguez
Two
The need to develop a common story. That, in fact may be most uncommon: unique, exemplary, exceptional at a time when class division is a global challenge.
The Silicon Valley Story Lab �@giorodriguez
Three
The need for communications professionals to examine not just the efficacy of their tools, but their ethical application as well.
