OBJE: Social Media Tools Play Critical Role in Campaigning

  Share This Story

SARASOTA, Fla. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - As political campaigns heat up across the country, social media tools such as those in development by Obscene Interactive, a subsidiary of Obscene Jeans Corp. (OTCBB: OBJE), are playing an increasingly critical role in reaching voters and raising funds.

Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was one of the first to use social media to help drive online political fundraising. The 2012 Obama campaign is forecasted to produce the first billion-dollar-candidate thanks in part to a custom online fundraising platform.

Social fundraising has become a critical strategy for 2012 candidates, with social media-powered campaigns making it easier than ever to execute strategies like money bombs and short-term fundraising pushes that dramatically increase the amount of money candidates collect in small donations as well as the speed with which they collect them.

One social fund-raising site, Fundly.com, launched the Fundly Political Index late last year to help track the velocity of political social fundraising across the Web. Fundly alone currently processes between $50-500,000 each day for political candidates on both sides of the fence, and at all levels of government.

OBJE is exploring the creation of the next generation of social platforms to help foster new relationships between candidates, social causes, entrepreneurs and donors and/or investors. These unprecedented digital tools represent the future of crowd-funding. In addition to raising money, candidates will be able to connect with existing supporters and reach out to voters who aren't yet convinced. Accomplishments, such as campaign milestones, will get liked, shared, re-tweeted and reblogged instantly.

Digital followers who feel connected to the campaign will be more likely to make the leap from online supporter to offline volunteer-and financial supporter.
