Political CTV Focus

CTV and the 2024 Political Advertising Landscape

As we step into a year that promises to be nothing short of interesting, the political landscape and the impending cookieless future takes center stage for 2024. According to Basis, the 2024 election cycle is poised to become one of the most expensive in history, with a staggering $12 billion forecasted for political ad spend. CTV, having played a pivotal role in the 2022 midterms, emerges as a rapidly growing channel for ad expenditure in this cycle.

In contrast to traditional linear TV, CTV offers an expansive array of data sets that power political campaigns, enabling them to reach persuadable voters based on causes, party affiliations, behaviors, and demographics. Advertisers who solely rely on Linear TV are overlooking a substantial audience – the cord-cutters and those who have never been cable subscribers. While conventional political ads on linear platforms cater to general audiences, they lack the precision and impact of a targeted, well-informed campaign that resonates with voters seeking information aligned with their political stances.

CTV and the 2024 Political Advertising Landscape

In today’s digital landscape, consumers demand personalized, highly targeted content, and political ads are no exception. Enter CTV, where ads are naturally cookieless, providing a dependable platform amidst the inevitable shifts during the political season. Investing ad dollars in CTV offers a personalized, “cookie-proof” option to engage voters in a meaningful and impactful manner.

Political Ad Spend Per Election Cycle

According to a recent article in Forbes, “CTV advertising will play a pivotal role in shaping political narratives, offering an unprecedented level of engagement and message customization in the realm of electoral politics.”

Adstra’s ability to continuously link online and offline identities empowers strategic planning, audience connection, and targeted outreach to those most likely to resonate with the political message. In an era of evolving advertising landscapes, embracing CTV not only aligns with consumer expectations but also ensures a resilient and effective approach to political advertising during this dynamic season.
