What does a winning campaign actually look like — from the inside?
International political consultant Kateryna Odarchenko shares her step-by-step approach to running successful election and advocacy campaigns across Eastern Europe, Israel, Latin America, and the U.S.
Based on her book, The Game of Campaigns, this lecture provides a practical, tactical framework — not abstract theory. These strategies have been applied in real elections under pressure, with minimal budgets, and in complex political environments.
