Hi Aidan, you are probably talking about Julius van de Laar, see here: http://2012.eswc-conferences.org/program/keynote-speakers.html "Julius van de Laar is a political strategist and communications expert with strong campaigning experience. He has consulted politicians and political parties, non-governmental organizations, and private sector corporations developing strategies to achieve their goals: developing a compelling campaign narrative, winning elections, advocating for issues, raising money, growing their membership and creating a movement. During the 2008 US Presidential election, Julius van de Laar worked for Barack Obama's winning presidential campaign in nearly a dozen states. There, he focused on targeting voters and gaining supporters by combining proven campaigning strategies with the latest new media tactics."
