Marketing strategist Stewart Braddick plays role in Conservative party’s electoral success
OTTAWA—Stewart Braddick knows Brian Mulroney as well as former premiers Gordon Campbell and Mike Harris. He has worked for all of them.
He also knows Stephen Harper and has become an influential strategist behind the federal Conservative party’s electoral inroads.
If you’ve ever taken a call asking for donations to the Tories, Braddick, a political marketing operative at RMG — The Responsive Marketing Group — probably knows something about you, too.
In the 2011 campaign, 94 Conservative candidates paid for RMG’s services. The NDP contends RMG is not freelancing on its political scripting for voter contact calls. It points to a contract that Conservative MP Laurie Hawn’s campaign had showing RMG and the party work hand-in-glove on telephone scripts to be read to voters. The contract also tasks RMG with gathering email addresses and transferring all the data into the Conservative CIMS database.

Conservative sources say Stewart Braddick, the political mastermind behind RMG, is an organizer who has toiled endlessly in the political trenches.
