After Ben spoke at the 2008 eCampaigning Forum (ECF) in Oxford, UK he answered the following questions from participants that provide more insight into his experience in campaigning:

  1. What hasn't worked (with digital campaigning)?
  2. How do you communicate an issue to the general public?
  3. Can you clarify where a 'join ask' is appropriate?

Ben Brandzel has been involved in many of the major new advocacy initiatives that blend online and traditional strategies. These include:

and in the 2008 US Presidential elections the John Edwards campaign for the Democratic nomination for US President and the Barak Obama's Campaign for US President.
