Hi folks, I know that many of you have done work around digital political advertising and data-targeting and the issues involved. I thought you might be interested in what a sophisticated current campaign actually looks like on the ground in the U.S., including the very real limitations practitioners face. Last fall, I worked on a project in two battleground states in the U.S. that involved targeted video content and targeted digital video advertising in a swath of state legislative races plus a handful of congressional and local races. The Hometown Project and I used district-specific videos featuring actors, comedians and musicians who grew up in the targeted areas, and we reached priority voters via comprehensive digital ad targeting on Facebook and a programmatic video advertising platform. The project involved targeting from top to bottom, with a last-minute twist because of fundamental limitations in the process. We served 4.6 million ad impressions in total and reached many tens of thousands of U.S. voters. Plus, we got to work with Ernie Hudson, the fourth Ghostbuster!
