title = "Political Branding in a Crisis and the Shifting Strategies of the Trudeau 2021 Campaign",
abstract = "This chapter will explore the branding of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the 2021 campaign and the lessons from this for political branding in a crisis. It explains how the 2021 Liberal-Trudeau brand was visibly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was focused on the present, safety and protection, and while it retained an environmental focus it downplayed the part of Justin Trudeau himself while highlighting the weaknesses of the opposition. This did little to inspire voters already tired of living in a pandemic for nearly two years and support for Trudeau declined significantly between the call of the election and the final vote. The chapter therefore highlighted the challenges of political branding in a crisis and generates lessons both for Trudeau and political leaders around the world.",
