In a time where politics rules the minds of so many, it is more important than ever for Political Action Committees (PACS), candidates and/or their agencies choose the right channels for promotion. In the world of digital advertising, one ad type has arisen as the most effective, Native Advertising.
Native advertising is the use of paid ads that match the look, feel and function of the media format in which they appear. This means you can target readers/watchers on sites which cater to their target audience. For example, we can run ads on MSN.com, where your ads appear similar to a news article discussing your main campaign talking points.
But it’s so much more than that. Using native ad platforms, such as Taboola, Outbrain, Revcontent and others, advertisers can target specific websites to appear on based on their target audience. Other targeting includes geography, device type, age, interests, and so much more. Some platforms even allow you to target personal ideologies and political interests!
Native Advertising should be viewed as a form of quality content marketing that offers pertinent information to interested readers in a relevant context. Content consumers (voters) would still always rather be offered Native Ads to engage with rather than bombarded with obnoxious display/banner ads.
Why choose native for your political promotions?
- Cost-per-click bidding – no wasted clicks

- Demo Targeting – Customize campaigns to hit your perfect audience
- Location Targeting – Target the whole US or target as granular as zip code
