Hammersmith's Conservative candidate, Shaun Bailey, notches up a first today as he becomes the first candidate to release his own iPhone app.
The app - which you can download by clicking here - was developed by Alexander Trewby, a self-employed software engineer from the constituency, and features news and updates from Shaun, along with videos, contact information and links to other social media.
Shaun Bailey explains:
“Whether it’s knocking on doors, delivering literature, making campaign videos or developing iPhone apps, politics should be about connecting with people. Here in Hammersmith, broadband penetration is higher than the national average – we are truly a digitally connected community. A short walk down Hammersmith Broadway or around Shepherds Bush Green will show you that lots of people here are using iPhones. This app allows iPhone users to connect with our campaign in way that is familiar to them.
“As a candidate in Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush, I want to win people over with our ideas for change, not just how we communicate them. This application represents another way for us to get our message out. We need a change in the leadership of our country. I want to be part of that change.”
Tim and I remain keen to highlight examples of good campaign ideas or literature which candidates are using on the ground. If you have ideas you want to share please email me or Tim.
