Liz was kind enough to host us in Bristol last Friday to meet the rest of your key team members. As agreed, I and my colleague David (one of our senior data scientists) spent the day meeting with Liz and the heads of all of your departments to assess the current supply of data, it's collection, and how we can support and enhance the systems in place in order to feed into our larger nation-wide voter targeting project. My teams in the London office are preparing a detailed project proposal for you review, alongside concurrent work on how we help the Party and your insurance company. We will have some documents to you before the end of this week. As you and I discussed together, we should have an in-person meeting the week of the 30th to review everything together and decide the best way forward on all fronts. May I suggest any time from Wednesday December 2nd through Friday the 4th? We look forward to seeing you all again soon. I will be in the US until next Wednesday so until then the best number to reach me on is: With kindest regards, Brittany Kaiser, PhD Candidate, MPhil, LLM, MA Hons Director of Program Development CA Cambridge Analytica The News Corp.

Kieran has given me his section and i have written the surrounding parts etc. However i have just had a conversation with David about using UKIPs data. We have already analysed all the in house data UKIP has but we could additionally append it to commercial data if purchased. Is this something that you would deem necessary or is it just an addition? To me, it makes sense to append this commercial data as it gives us other insights into their audience and although modelling wouldn't be used it would still be very useful. Let me know your thoughts and if necessary i can add a section to the proposal.

As we discussed, we will make sure that the Target Audience Analysis (TAA) suits the purposes of Leave as well as UKIP and we will try to seed some questions into the survey that will help inform future study of insurance risk profiling. Once we have completed the TAA and matched it to the Experian data we will be in a position to start microtargeting and, at that time, we would propose that we start digital outreach and a program of voter engagement and fundraising. However, following our discussion yesterday on the way you are using Facebook (and chatting it over with our Head of Digital Marketing afterwards), it occurred to me that you may like us to take over you current list-building activity in the interim. From what you've said, I'm certain we could improve the effectiveness and yield from current activities and that would give us a stronger base for the fundraising programme in the New Year. Please let me know what you think and whether or not we should include it in the topics for discussion with Arron on Tuesday. Separately, I look forward to seeing you again soon when you're up in London, so do let us know when you are coming.

John Gill, the party's press director sent it over from a conversation we were having - interestingly one of the Professor's on the project was my tutor at university. It's actually quite interesting and may be useful when planning out our research.

I will ask [the Executive Assistant to Arron Banks & Liz Bilney] to set up a meeting in early January so that you can take Arron through the proposal, he's out of the country this week and fully booked next unfortunately, hence the reason for the delay.

We are awaiting some news from Andy in the meantime, so let's connect on Monday and plan out which day would be best for everyone before Christmas. Looking forward to working with you!

So I'm told by Liz that you still need something from us, although I am not quite sure what is. Also, could you give me an indication of when we we will have some demographic data.

Thanks, Pierre PA Shepherd Head of Research From: "Ian, Election-Data" Subject: Briefing - The Labour vote (1 of 5) Date: January 6, 2016 at 14:12:51 GMT To: "Arron Banks", "Liz Bilney", "Andy Wigmore", julian wheatland, "Brittany Kaiser", "Peregrine Willoughby-Brown", "Jordanna Zetter", "Gerry Gunster" Hello all, Please find attached the first of five reports on the Labour vote. As you will seethe report includes detailed analysis of demographic characteristics and political behaviour. There is an Executive Summary at the beginning if the full report is too long to consume. This first report is one of five I will produce: 1. Blue collar working households (attached) 2. Struggling, financially strapped households 3. Young, metropolitan liberals 4. Current students 5. Ethnic minorities Each of these groups have distinct demographic characteristics, personality traits and political behaviours. They will require subtely different messaging as a result. Julian and the team at Cambridge and I had a productive meeting in London before Christmas and I hope this report will start to flesh this out. Labour voters have relatively poor turnout levels as a rule. The traditional approach is to have a phased campaign, with 'persuasion' messaging earlier in the campaign giving way to 'get out the vote' messaging later on. I anticipate this will be the case with the Labour voters here. That said, there are some socially conservative Labour voters with fairly closed personality traits which have either already made up their minds or view any messaging with suspicion if it doesn't chime with their world view. With those voters the aim should be simply to 'keep the pot boiling' with issues like immigration rather than continually hammering them. For younger, liberal voters who are high-information, open and extroverted personalities there is a place for persuasion messaging to be effective if it is dispassionate and objective. I will let you consume the report, and please ask any questions you have. Regards Ian Warren Election-Data From: Jordanna Zetter Subject: Re: Friday's Leave.
