Skipstone, LLC is proud to announce AskLearnVote.com in order to provide a better way for voters to research candidate’s positions on issues that are important to the individual voter.
Because AskLearnVote.com is powered by Skipstone’s patent-pending Interactive Video Platform, voters will be able to hear a candidate’s presentation of their overall message, and during that message, ask a question directly to the candidate’s video. A pre-recorded answer to a voter’s question will play, allowing the voter to hear the candidate’s position directly from a candidate’s pre-recorded video.
The companion to this is our AskLearnVote free app available in the App Store for IOS and Android.
Troy Ontko, Founder and CEO of Skipstone says: “There is what we call an ‘Engagement Wall’ between voters and candidates, between consumers and brands. This Wall means that too often we hear candidate’s positions from sources other than the candidate themselves. Too often information is out of context, or candidate’s words are twisted in a headline and too often we hear information about candidates from someone who has an agenda. Skipstone technology allows voters to virtually go directly to the candidate and hear their position in the candidate’s own words. Skipstone Technology tears down the ‘Engagement Wall’.”
“Today’s voters and Presidential candidates will see the same benefit to Skipstone Interactive Technology that Consumers and Businesses enjoy for Products and Services.” Says Katherine Mills, Skipstone Director of Sales and Marketing. “There is no need for voters to sift through information they are not interested in or that may not be accurate. They simply ask their question and get their information directly from the source. This should be the basis of researching candidate’s: hear their position and then hear what others have to say about those positions.”
AskLearnVote.com will feature candidates seeking their party’s nomination for President. Voters and others simply click a candidate’s video and engage.
Campaigns will have the option of sending their Skipstone through social media to better share their message. Candidates will have the opportunity to submit content that better reflects their view, they can find out how by contacting us at [email protected].
Skipstone is hosting this service as a news source for voters; there is no charge to campaigns for Skipstone views. General advertising will fund this effort. “What better way to take money out of Politics”, says Troy Ontko, “Sure commercials can be a distraction, but it is a small price to pay to equalize the playing field and let the candidates rise or fall on their merits and their positions. If we secure a title sponsor for the website we can accomplish the same goal with fewer ads.” To become a sponsor please contact us at [email protected].
Finally the benefit of analytics to candidates equals the benefits to brands. Never before could we hear right from the consumer, or in this case the voter, in real time, in the moment. What better focus group is there than the actual voting public.
