Mike Bloomberg has invested a hell lot of money in making memes on his presidential candidature. Yes, you heard that right. We all know memes are surprisingly popular in social media. Almost everyone enjoys memes, and thus Bloomberg chose memes for his publicity, the first of its kind and never tried and tested before by any political figure. This is not a random process of sponsoring some meme makers. Rather, there is a strong team of strategists, who are planning and executing the entire thing. The team called Mem 2020 is led by Mick Purzycki, the Chief Execute officer of Jerry Media. Jerry Media belongs to Fuck Jerry and Fyre Fest fame. The strategists have very carefully and consciously crafted the Instagram posts, which reflects a humorous and self-aware perspective of Mike Bloomberg.
This is just one of the many digital campaigns laid by team Bloomberg, which consist of brand collaboration, weird Twitter memes, Instagram posts, digital advertisements and so on. Out of a total $188 million, $140 million has been spent on digital advertisements. Instagram influencer @thefatjewish was also offered sponsorship, which he discarded. As he mentioned, “They asked me to do it, I said no. I grew up in New York City so I can tell you firsthand, Bloomberg is a colossal shitbag”. He also added “From the subjugation of minorities through stop and frisk policies to his hardline anti-marijuana stance, dude is a total hoe. I’d encourage any meme account owner to take schmoney from basically any brand (and use it to buy sick shit like jetskis and pure bred corgis) because brands are trash and deserve to have their money taken, but this dystopian black mirror simulation is too much for me i now need to be shot into the fucking sun.”
