π€ Bite-Sized Knurd: Democrats spend billions of dollars on TV advertising every election cycle, but TV is not what it used to be. With TV’s added cost and lower effectiveness, connected TV offers a new, better way to reach voters.
Paid advertising has become an increasingly crucial tool for political campaigns to not only win, but to fundraise, persuade, and GOTV. The 2010 Citizens United ruling opened the floodgates of cash. Political ad spending has grown by an average of 27% per year since 2012.
In 2020, political ad spending surpassed $6 billion with a capital B.
