Welcome to the third and final Election Advertising episode for the 2019 federal campaign. With just days until the ballots are counted, the political parties are serving up their closing arguments to voters through every medium available, including of course, via advertising.Advertising gurus Dennis Matthews and David Rosenberg again join us to help us dissect how the ads help drive their GOTV strategy. Dennis and David (for the Conservative and Liberal Parties, respectively) have been responsible for so much of the notable election advertising in this country.Dennis managed, strategized and created advertising campaigns for Stephen Harper for over a decade, and his work helped Doug Ford to a majority victory in Ontario in 2018. Dennis now Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Enterprise Canada.David has created campaigns for Paul Martin, Kathleen Wynne and his ads played no small part in Justin Trudeau’s stunning majority 4 years ago. David is currently partner and Chief Creative Officer at Bensimon Byrne.

We’re just days away until all our election predictions come back to haunt us. The debates are over, the ads roar on, and the GOTV (Get Out The Vote) machines are fired up. On this episode of The Herle Burly podcast, David is joined by campaign strategists Jenni Byrne (Conservative) and Scott Reid (Liberal) to hear what each party is doing and why, but perhaps more interestingly, what each should be doing to make their closing arguments. This episode was recorded at the Orange Lounge on Queen Street West, Toronto.

The first all-leaders election debate is now behind us and the verdict is in: goat rodeo! David Herle sits down with campaign strategists Jenni Byrne (Conservative) and Scott Reid (Liberal) to break down the chaos and the consequences as we enter the final two weeks of Election 2019.

At the midpoint in the 2019 Canadian election campaign, we’re back with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. The parties are throwing the kitchen sink at the public and at each other, and as we say, have effectively turned the race into an episode of Seinfeld: an election about nothing. Plus, Jenni tells us that we’re too emotional about Donald Trump.

This may in fact be the most revealing and raw episode of The Herle Burly. On our weekly Election 2019 panel, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid join me again, not simply to dissect the recent turbulent days of the campaign, but to share some personal tumult we’ve experienced on previous campaigns. Join us for an inside look.

The long road of political campaigns are often riddled with insignificant moments that just about everyone outside the parties ignore. But every once in a while there are monumental moments that surprise everyone. Yesterday was one of those times. Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid join me on the podcast to discuss the news that shook the world of Canadian politics and the crisis response to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's black and brown face revelations.

We're now into week two of the 2019 federal election and we're back with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. It was a big week for War Room punches and counter punches, so join us to hear what that means for #elxn43 and why bodily fluids are mentioned more than once in our back and forth.
