Morgan for Congress selects Restless Media as its Social Media and Online Consultants

Feb. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Morgan, who announced his candidacy late last year, will be challenging incumbent Congressman, Charles Rangel, for his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Morgan believes that engaging constituents, both on and offline, will be critical to differentiating himself from Rangel. “I have a lot of personal admiration for Mr. Rangel. I think, though, that he’s grown more and more out of touch with the needs of the district. He’s had a great run, but it’s time for folks of this district to have an alternative.” said Morgan.

Morgan has a growing online presence, and has engaged Restless Media to connect more intimately with niche online audiences. Stephen Chukumba, the managing member of Restless Media notes, “Social media plays an increasingly important role in giving voters a voice.  The more savvy politicians and aspirants are engaging in dialogues with these audiences and employing social media platforms in increasingly sophisticated ways.”

“It’s not enough to simply have a Facebook page or a Twitter account. You’ve got to be active. We believe that Vincent Morgan represents the next wave of politician, in that he’s got hands-on familiarity with these platforms, and wants to do more with them.” Chukumba adds.

The first foray of this union includes a video entitled “We Are NY 15.” The video, released via the social media platform YouTube, features a montage of individuals representing the diversity of the 15th District. In addition to the YouTube account, Morgan for Congress also has a website, blog, Facebook Fan page, Twitter and Flickr accounts.
