The campaign for Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has initiated a new strategic phase centered on "marketing wars." This shift follows the recent decision on his vice presidential running mate, signaling a more aggressive approach to public relations and political messaging.
The primary objective of this new phase is to actively combat negative narratives surrounding Bolsonaro and his political allies. The campaign intends to highlight what it considers the achievements of his father's administration while simultaneously working to shape public perception in his favor. This involves a concerted effort to control the messaging and counter opposition attacks.
Strategies will reportedly include a robust use of social media platforms, where Bolsonaro maintains a strong following, and traditional media outlets.
