Writing Successful Manifestos

A great manifesto can make the difference between winning and losing.

The reader can already see your name, they’re not going to vote for you because you were Head Boy/Girl, and do they really want to hear about your amazing internships? A manifesto might be the only channel you have to tell someone why they should vote for you. Capture their attention, pluck at their emotions, make a compelling argument, and build out into your wider campaign.

What this session will cover

• Understanding Short and Long manifestos
• Avoiding commons mistakes
• Crafting messages that land
• Turning interest into a vote
