ABOUT LOOPS LOOPS helps political candidates leverage the internet and mobile technologies to mobilize group resources. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we enable candidates to better communicate their platform and message to reach, develop and motivate a community of self-organizers. Most importantly, we seamlessly connect innovative tools with traditional activism. HOW WE DO IT Utilizing innovation is not mandatory for people to communicate and organize around campaigns. We just make it easier. With deep media, political and business relationships, LOOPS is uniquely positioned within Brazil to provide all the strategy, communication, leadership and technology necessary to give our clients a substantial edge. CASE STUDY In 2008, we were part of the team responsible for creating, developing and implementing the most innovative political campaign in Brazil to date. By providing Mr. Fernando Gabeira with Web 2.0 tools in his campaign for Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Mr. Gabeira was able to increase his percentage of the votes from 4% to 49% in three months. While Mr. Gabeira’s bid was ultimately unsuccessful, the methodologies employed validated the ability of the Internet and mobile tools to dramatically disrupt the political landscape in Brazil. LOOPS was created to accelerate this disruption. PARTNERSHIPS By combining the knowledge, relationships and backgrounds of the LOOPS team with the best possible partners, LOOPS is positioned to be the preeminent resource in the region for the 2010 general election and beyond. LOCAL ADVANTAGE LOOPS is the only local firm employing WEB 2.0 political campaigns in Brazil. From campaign managers and politicians to business leaders and media companies, our team enjoys personal relationship with all of the relevant decision makers in Brazil.
