Esrati for Congress!

david esrati headshot sm Esrati for Congress!
Many of you may know David Esrati from around the blogosphere. He’s an agency owner and blogger with, usually, a pretty definite POV about many things digital. He also runs a pretty interesting looking seminar called Websiteology which, IMHO, is a pretty cool example of marketing as a service applied to marketing our services.

You may also know that he’s announced that he’s: “running in the Democratic primary for the United States House of Representatives to fill the Ohio Third district seat currently held by Michael Turner (R).”

His run was inspired by a book written to him by his father on his 17th birthday and he’s published a short, to the point and eminently sensible platform on his site: esrati.com.

I don’t always agree with David on everything but I can find little to argue with on his priorities politically. I salute his bravery and wish him all the best in this endeavor.

    Hi Adrian,
    Thanks for the post. That's the real power of this blogosphere- people who wouldn't normally connect, can and do. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, nor I with you, if we did, we couldn't have arguments about how big to make the logo (and isn't that what it's all about?).

    Yes, the seminar is "Marketing as a Service" - and it's been incredibly successful- even in this small market. Taught one today- and launched a dozen new net denizens into the world with a fighting chance of actually being found by the goog- without paying for it.

    I'm trying to run a campaign based on intellectual currency, instead of the current "we've got the best politicians money can buy" model. No money from PACs, Corporations or Special Interest groups- because, in the end, they expect some results for their $2 Billion dollar investment (what will be spent on this election cycle).

    The book, was actually written when I was 7, for ten years later- it's free- and 60 pages. Highly recommend it (really). We're working on a podcast/audio book version next.

    Please find your way to my campaign videos- take a look: http://esrati.com/?cat=182

    both     low budget- aiming to differentiate the campaign, before I get into issues.

    Thanks again for the mention. Hopefully, with everyones help, I can get to DC and test if we can really sell a new way of doing things- instead of just talking about change.
