Abstract

Purpose - This paper seeks to investigate the communication strategy of the two main candidates in the 2007 French presidential elections, deconstructing the process of communication in its main elements: context, message, media-mix, and communication strategy. Design/methodology/approach - Secondary data were collected from a variety of secondary sources, such as texts, articles, statistics and interviews on the subject of the 2007 French presidential elections, published in various journals or web sites, and then re-interpreted from the perspective of two researchers, who were direct participants and observers of these political events. Findings - The findings present an analytical discussion of the central political message used during the presidential campaign, complemented by an analysis of the media-mix and the level of media exposure of the two main candidates. Research limitations/implications - The limited focus of the paper on the communication campaign implemented by the two main candidates in the 2007 French presidential elections does not permit a general evaluation of the political marketing strategy. Practical implications - The conclusions of this study can provide a useful insight for political communication specialists. Originality/value - The main contribution of the paper lies in the presentation and discussion of the main communication methods and tools used in a political system different from the Anglo-American context, which is analysed in most empirical and theoretical studies on the subject of political marketing.
