Podcasts about political advertising

An RNZ analysis of election-year Facebook and Instagram advertising has found a clear gender divide in who is seeing different parties' ads, with National and ACT reaching more men and the Greens reaching more women. But political parties do not have complete control over those audiences, with Meta's algorithms also deciding who is most likely to see and engage with particular messages. Producer Pranuja spoke to University of Auckland marketing lecturer Katherine Jensen about how AI and platform algorithms are shaping political advertising, whether voters are being shown increasingly different versions of the same campaign, and whether New Zealand's election rules are keeping up.

The second one borrows from 1964. The original Daisy ad ran exactly once, cast Barry Goldwater as a threat to American children, and closed with Lyndon Johnson's line about loving each other or dying. Johnson won in a landslide and the spot became the most famous attack ad in American political history. In the remake, the girl picking daisies is regenerated with AI and placed on an operating table in front of a synthetic Talarico while a narrator lists procedures. Talarico's campaign says he has never supported gender reassignment surgery for minors and calls the ad a lie. The reported buy is 10 million dollars. Hawk's point is that none of this is a policy argument. It is a bet on whether voters can tell a fabricated video from a real one.

Zach Adams, Director of Client Partnerships for Politics and Public Affairs at VDX.tv, shines a light on the critical distinctions between advertising and marketing in political and advocacy campaigns and how these campaigns are still, for the most part, one-way conversations. Traditional broadcast TV ads may build name awareness but are not effective for building relationships with voters, gathering real-time feedback, or motivating them to take action. A diversified media strategy that reaches voters across multiple digital and traditional channels can be effective in strengthening emotional connections, tailoring messages to voter engagement levels, and spending campaign resources more effectively.

Don Norton, General Manager of Data Solutions at AdImpact, joins AdTechGod to discuss his journey from DoubleClick and Google to AdImpact, the evolution of TV measurement, the rise of CTV, political advertising trends, AI's role in media intelligence, and why relationships still matter in an increasingly automated industry. Takeaways Don shares lessons from DoubleClick, Google, Infillion, and AdImpact. AdImpact is expanding beyond political advertising into cross-TV intelligence. CTV and broadcast measurement require larger datasets and ACR technology for accuracy. Political advertising in 2026 is expected to rival presidential election spending levels. Local CTV presents one of the biggest growth opportunities in television advertising. AI is improving data processing, automation, and predictive insights. Despite automation, trust and human relationships remain critical in media buying and selling.

DESCRIPTION Charlie connects two major political stories: ongoing election-integrity concerns in California and a growing battle over South Carolina's future. He breaks down allegations involving ballot harvesting, inactive voter rolls, and mail-in voting procedures, then pivots to South Carolina's governor's race, dark-money mailers, and the fight between establishment Republicans and Freedom Caucus conservatives. Plus, an interview with South Carolina House candidate Rick Shealy on taxes, spending, roads, and redistricting. Based on discussion from the transcript. (Source transcript: turn2file0.) PODCAST SUMMARY The show opens with a discussion of California's election system, where Charlie raises concerns about voter registration practices, ballot harvesting, and the handling of inactive voter rolls. He argues that extended vote-counting periods and widespread mail-in voting continue to fuel public skepticism about election administration and transparency. (Source transcript: turn2file0.) The conversation then shifts to the failed SAVE Act vote in Washington and the role of Republican senators who opposed it. Charlie argues that establishment Republicans and past political endorsements have weakened conservative efforts in Congress and in South Carolina, particularly in the fight over redistricting and congressional control. (Source transcript: turn2file0.) Charlie also warns listeners about political mailers flooding South Carolina ahead of the election. He claims that groups with conservative-sounding names are allegedly targeting Freedom Caucus lawmakers while presenting themselves as grassroots conservative organizations. Voters are encouraged to look closely at who is funding campaign messages before making decisions. (Source transcript: turn2file0.) Later in the program, South Carolina House candidate Rick Shealy joins the show to discuss cutting government spending, reducing taxes, eliminating property taxes, improving roads, and revisiting redistricting. The interview provides a local policy contrast to the broader discussion about political power and accountability. (Source transcript: turn2file0.) The episode concludes with a look at the unsettled South Carolina governor's race, where polling shows a tightly packed field and a large number of undecided voters. Charlie argues that this election could have major implications for the future of South Carolina's political establishment. (Source transcript: turn2file0.) KEY TAKEAWAYS California's election procedures remain a flashpoint in national political debate. Ballot harvesting and voter-roll maintenance continue to generate controversy. The SAVE Act became a major issue in the broader election-security discussion. South Carolina's governor's race remains highly competitive with many undecided voters. Dark-money political mailers are becoming a major factor in legislative races. Freedom Caucus lawmakers continue to face organized opposition in several districts. Rick Shealy says his priorities include spending cuts, tax relief, and local road control. Voters are encouraged to scrutinize campaign messaging and funding sources before voting. SOCIAL MEDIA TITLE Ballot Harvesting, Dark Money & The Battle for South Carolina SOCIAL MEDIA DESCRIPTION From California election controversies to South Carolina's governor's race, Charlie argues that voters should pay close attention to ballot rules, political endorsements, and who's really paying for campaign mailers.

In this episode, Katie talks with Clare O'Donoghue Velikić about the shifting landscape of political advertising in Europe—and what's driving those changes. They trace how Brexit, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and rising public scrutiny of tech platforms set the stage for today's regulatory environment. Clare breaks down the stark differences between U.S. and European campaign practices, the ripple effects of GDPR and data rules, and how policymakers are thinking about political communication in a post-scandal world. They also unpack Meta's recent decision to ban political ads in the EU, exploring why it matters, who it affects, and what transparency risks emerge when legitimate political messaging is pushed out of public view. The conversation offers a grounded look at the future of digital campaigning in Europe—and the tradeoffs ahead as platforms, regulators, and political actors navigate a rapidly changing system.Takeaways* Regulation intended to increase transparency can lead to less transparency.* Europe's political advertising landscape is significantly different from the US.* Data protection laws in Europe limit campaign strategies.* The early days of Facebook were marked by excitement and innovation.* The Cambridge Analytica scandal raised serious concerns about data use in politics.* Building political ad transparency tools was a complex process.* The current political ad ban in Europe poses risks to democratic discourse.* Extremist content may thrive in the absence of regulated political ads.* Finding a compromise between tech companies and regulators is crucial.* The removal of political ads silences moderate voices in social media.Chapters* 00:00 Introduction to Political Advertising in Europe* 03:38 Differences Between US and European Political Campaigning* 06:12 The Early Days of Facebook and Political Campaigning* 08:56 The Impact of Cambridge Analytica and Foreign Interference* 11:14 Building Political Ad Transparency Tools* 13:59 Challenges in Regulating Political Advertising* 16:49 Personal Experiences in Political Campaigning* 19:02 The Role of Data and Privacy in Political Advertising* 25:43 Political Ad Authorization and Campaign Dynamics* 29:29 Challenges of Political Advertising in Europe* 33:08 Meta's Political Ad Transparency Initiatives* 39:05 Impact of New Regulations on Political Advertising* 44:12 The Future of Political Advertising and Social Media* 48:53 The Role of Moderation in Social Discourse* 52:15 The Evolution of Political Advertising on Facebook* 52:44 Challenges of Transparency in Online AdsAnchor Change with Katie Harbath is a reader-supported publication.

This Day in Maine for Monday, April 28, 2025.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  President Trump proposes United States takeover of Gaza Strip  President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States takes control over the Gaza Strip, later saying that the U.S. could make Gaza “the Riviera of the Middle East.” What could this kind of proposal do to relations in the Middle East? What about with America’s allies who don’t like this idea? Dr. Austin Knuppe, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Dr. Jeannie Johnson, Professor of Political Science and Founding Director of the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence at Utah State University join our conversation.    FBI agents suing DOJ over information release on Jan. 6 investigations, cases  It’s quite an interesting situation -- FBI agents are suing the Department of Justice, hoping to block the release of information on those who worked on January 6 cases. The worry is that President Trump could seek retaliatory measures against the agents who aided in the investigation and prosecution of the President. Inside Sources shares updates on the situation.    On the Hill 2025: Adding restrictions on political advertisements  Ask virtually anyone – election and candidate advertising can get pretty ridiculous, especially during election season. State Representative Sahara Hayes is running a bill that would make changes to political advertising restrictions, specifically on social media. She joins Inside Sources to talk more about it.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation that would address electricity rates  Another bill on Utah’s Capitol Hill addresses electricity rates here in the Beehive States. State Representative Carl Albrecht is proposing changes to public utility regulation in the state, specifically looking at electricity and a "balancing account" owned by Rocky Mountain Power. He joins the show to explain more about the motivations behind the bill.    Democrats release plans to push back on Pres. Trump’s agenda  With the narrow majority Republicans have in the House, they're bound to need Democratic support to get things through. But will Democrats help? It doesn't look like it... That is, unless Republicans are willing to make concessions to the other side. Do Congressional Democrats have enough leverage against Republicans right now? Listen to hear thoughts from Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan.   On the Hill 2025: New requirements for civics education in Utah  Have you ever taken the U.S. Naturalization Test? How’d you do? Or if you haven’t taken one, how do you think you’d do? Turns out most Americans -- 2/3 of them -- could NOT pass the naturalization test; the same test we require immigrants to take as they work towards becoming citizens. A Utah State Representative says that's unacceptable, and he wants to change that number beginning with Utah's youth. State Rep. Doug Welton explains his proposal to the Inside Sources hosts.    Debating the price of eggs  Eggs... they seem to have gotten more and more expensive. Are you fed up with the price of eggs today? If so, you’ll want to listen to Erin’s side of things during this segment. Or do you not really care or notice the price of eggs? If so, you’ll probably side with Taylor. Either way, listen to this lively discussion!     

Yeah, this ages well. Seriously... This conversation with Bill Kristol was from April of this year. Some of the discussion applied to that moment in time (eg. bemoaning the Mets tepid start to the 2024 season); but much of it still applies even given the outcome of the latest election. With that, here are the notes from one of our "Best of 2024" conversations...   Are REPUBLICAN VOTERS AGAINST TRUMP our greatest BULWARK against authoritarianism and the most significant constituency in DEFENDING DEMOCRACY TOGETHER? (Dad jokes about the future of our Constitutional Republic aside...) Bill Kristol shares his thoughts on the state of our democracy and how this year's consequential election is shaping up.   We're on YouTube!  https://www.youtube.com/@politicsandreligion   So glad to be joined again by Bill Kristol, Editor at Large of The Bulwark; Director of Defending Democracy Together; and Host of Conversations with Bill Kristol. We took time to reflect on Bill's early political experiences, including his roles in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, his academic career, and his work with the Project for the Republican Future. We also touch on our shared passion for baseball, particularly for the New York Mets! We then delve into Bill's critical views on the Trump presidency, the rise of authoritarianism, and the importance of defending liberal democracy. He shares insights into his efforts with the Republican Voters Against Trump initiative and the importance of bipartisan engagement in preserving democratic norms. We then discuss the impact of social and political polarization, the significance of grassroots activism, and the need for open, exploratory dialogue across ideological divides. We wind down with Bill emphasizing the resilience of the American political system and the potential for positive change through collective action and constructive discourse.   00:52 Meet Bill Kristol: A Storied Career in Politics;  01:58 Baseball and Politics: A Personal Connection;  04:09 Navigating Political Ideologies: From Youth to Present;  05:41 The Evolution of Political Beliefs and the Impact of External Changes;  10:18 The Threat of Illiberalism and the Defense of Liberal Democracy;  15:21 Exploring the Dangers of Trumpism and Authoritarian Tendencies;  26:56 The Role of Intellectuals and Voters in Shaping Political Futures;  33:59 The Impact of Testimonials from Former Trump Voters;  34:53 The Strategy Behind Targeting Swing Voters;  35:54 Challenges and Strategies in Political Advertising;  36:55 Building a Broad Coalition Against Trump;  42:09 The Role of Money in Politics and Campaign Strategies;  44:34 Fostering Careers and Nurturing Talent in Politics;  50:43 The Evolution of Political Discourse and Outreach;  54:36 Final Thoughts on Political Engagement and Hope   We're on Patreon!

In this episode, Elizabeth talks to Mike Pal, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, about election laws in Canada. Elizabeth and Mike discuss the laws and institutions that govern elections in Canada, including the Canada Elections Act and Elections Canada.   They discuss threats to election integrity and security posed by new technologies in an age of democratic decline. Elizabeth and Mike also delve into the threat of foreign interference, voter privacy in big data elections, and a changing media environment prone to misinformation and disinformation. They close out by talking about artificial intelligence (AI), specifically its potential to transform our electoral landscape and how we should best prepare to ensure our laws and institutions continue to bolster public trust in our democracy. Additional ResourcesThroughout the episode, Mike and Elizabeth reference the Canada Elections Act to understand part of Canada's legal regime around election integrity and security.Mike cites the American Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000) case as an example of the importance of election laws as a way for citizens to exercise their political rights. Elizabeth discusses the need to begin mapping out the role of technology in election security laws in Canada,  including potential threats to elections and how election laws might then be updated or changed.

We are just days away from one of the most consequential and historic elections in U.S. history. Political advertising spending is expected to be at an all-time high in this election cycle, with both parties vying for the attention and votes of undecided voters in our highly polarized society, especially in a handful of swing states. While political advertising is protected speech at the highest level under the First Amendment, there are still federal and state laws that apply to political ads. In this episode of Perfect Balance: An Advertising Law Podcast, host Po Yi explores some of these laws with Manatt Digital and Technology Partner and Leader Eric Bergner and Government and Regulatory Associate Antoinette Bedros, particularly variations in these laws and compliance challenges for digital publishers when accepting political ads on their platforms.

As the 2024 presidential election enters its final stretch, political advertising is being prioritized in the battle for voters' attention. The Democrats' have a substantial lead in ad spending and viewership across multiple platforms with Harris outspending Trump by significant margins in key swing states and Democratic candidates dominating the airwaves in crucial House races. However, the effectiveness of this massive advertising push remains to be seen. In the past, advertising advantage didn't translate to victory, but in the current landscape could the evolving role of political advertising in American democracy shift the results on Election Day? Gus Wezerek from New York Times joins the show.

Today's guest is Sam Jeffers, cofounder and executive director of Who Targets Me. Jeffers has spent several yearshas spent several years building a suite of capabilities to make political advertising more transparent, including tools for individuals and data and support for academics, researchers and journalists. His organization also advocates for better policy from platforms, regulators and governments. (You can download the Who Targets Me browser extension to contribute your data to the project.)

Mail, TV and Radio advertising isn't the norm any longer when it comes to political advertising. Why? Analysis from Blois Olson on The WCCO Morning News.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon New political advertising data shows that in Salt Lake City, the Democratic Party has outspent the Republican Party by roughly $130,000. Salt Lake City is generally seen as a Democratic stronghold in Utah, so why spend more money advertising to people who will probably already vote for your candidate? We discuss this question and compare political advertising here to spending in a swing state like Arizona.

Chris gets quizzed on political advertising facts during the presidential cycle. We discuss the demographics of voters and different approaches to messaging and tactics during the key election period.

Ad spending in the 2024 presidential election is nearing $2 billion. With Vice President Kamala Harris' late entry to the race, we look at how her campaign and that of former President Donald Trump are trying to define Harris politically through advertising.

A witty and wise conversation with John Vilade, head of sales at Premion, began with a chat about changes in the royal family: as in the old “Content is King” adage...and why John bows to the customer. That led to a deep dive into the “ad-vantages” of streaming media. John explained new research out of Premion and Advertiser Perceptions that revealed significant trends in ad spend shifting towards streaming and away from traditional media channels and increases in CTV budgets overall. (See links and download their survey results for free, here!)   He has a knack for explaining complex concepts like targeting, programmatic buying, and brand safety in a way that's warm and relatable. That dovetails with Premion's goal of simplifying streaming advertising for local and national spot advertisers -- acting as a 'liberator' for local advertisers, making advanced advertising techniques accessible.    We also touched on the competitive landscape, including how Premion has innovated with their own demand-side platform to enhance inventory acquisition and control. The discussion on FAST channels spotlights just how much they've grown (see above: "Customer is the Judge"!) and how crucial they're becoming for advertisers. John's take on the political advertising landscape was interesting especially considering the power of local there, too; he shared more stats and facts from the Premion Political team's research with Campaigns & Elections.  John's extensive career journey took him from leveraging his New Jersey roots to land his first ad sales gig in Waco, Texas (you'll have to hear that story!), on to his impactful roles at NBC (with a nod to David Zaslav for making a smart hire) and then Hulu. John's career has kept pace with the dynamic shifts in our industry, leading him to be really savvy about OTT and CTV in today's market.  His jokes about earning his grey hair notwithstanding, he is a bona fide beloved industry resource. But as he explains, he has always been a voracious consumer of trade publications as a way to keep a step ahead, and to help his customers thrive. He's the right man for the job at Premion, which is part of the larger Tegna organization, home also to LockedOn Podcast Network and more.  On a personal note, I still didn't get to why John owns a hay farm in Texas but I appreciate that he is a big Dead head! This adds a layer of understanding as to who he is as a person, but it's his belief in “purpose” (which he defines as maintaining a promise between giver and receiver), whether in business transactions or personal interactions, that reveals just what drives him in life and at work.

Politicians have historically relied on traditional media — like television — to get out their campaign messages and mobilize voters. Who can forget the infamous 1988 Willie Horton ad? But while traditional media still dominates political ad spending, politicians are spreading their messages on digital platforms once reserved for entertainment. Even TikTok is being leveraged by many politicians as the way to engage a digital generation. As part of KQED's annual Youth Takeover week, high school juniors Ryan Heshmati and Kate Quach bring together a panel of media experts to talk about how political advertising works today and how we got there. Guests: Ryan Heshmati, junior, Saratoga High School Kate Quach, junior, St. Ignatius High School David Broockman, associate professor of political science, University of California-Berkeley Makena Kelly, senior politics writer; author, WIRED's Politics Lab newsletter Kyle Tharp, author, For What It's Worth - a newsletter tracking digital strategy, spending and trends in politics

Ryan Davis, Co-Founder of People First, discusses how "micro-influencers" or "micro-creators" are being used in political campaigns. We discuss the benefits of using micro-influencers for engagement, as well as how they can be used to target specific blocks of voters. Ryan also shares how these creators can inform the political strategy of campaigns through panels and focus groups, and how the comments to creators' content can reveal themes and sentiments important for the campaign. Here's a list of resources on micro-influencers written by Ryan and People First: White paper on micro-influencers 2024 election guide on micro-influencersIn-and-outs of influencer outreachAn overview of influencer trends

Are REPUBLICAN VOTERS AGAINST TRUMP our greatest BULWARK against authoritarianism and the most significant constituency in DEFENDING DEMOCRACY TOGETHER? (Dad jokes about the future of our Constitutional Republic aside...) Bill Kristol shares his thoughts on the state of our democracy and how this year's consequential election is shaping up.   So glad to be joined again by Bill Kristol, Editor at Large of The Bulwark; Director of Defending Democracy Together; and Host of Conversations with Bill Kristol. We took time to reflect on Bill's early political experiences, including his roles in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, his academic career, and his work with the Project for the Republican Future. We also touch on our shared passion for baseball, particularly for the New York Mets! We then delve into Bill's critical views on the Trump presidency, the rise of authoritarianism, and the importance of defending liberal democracy. He shares insights into his efforts with the Republican Voters Against Trump initiative and the importance of bipartisan engagement in preserving democratic norms. We then discuss the impact of social and political polarization, the significance of grassroots activism, and the need for open, exploratory dialogue across ideological divides. We wind down with Bill emphasizing the resilience of the American political system and the potential for positive change through collective action and constructive discourse.   00:52 Meet Bill Kristol: A Storied Career in Politics;  01:58 Baseball and Politics: A Personal Connection;  04:09 Navigating Political Ideologies: From Youth to Present;  05:41 The Evolution of Political Beliefs and the Impact of External Changes;  10:18 The Threat of Illiberalism and the Defense of Liberal Democracy;  15:21 Exploring the Dangers of Trumpism and Authoritarian Tendencies;  26:56 The Role of Intellectuals and Voters in Shaping Political Futures;  33:59 The Impact of Testimonials from Former Trump Voters;  34:53 The Strategy Behind Targeting Swing Voters;  35:54 Challenges and Strategies in Political Advertising;  36:55 Building a Broad Coalition Against Trump;  42:09 The Role of Money in Politics and Campaign Strategies;  44:34 Fostering Careers and Nurturing Talent in Politics;  50:43 The Evolution of Political Discourse and Outreach;  54:36 Final Thoughts on Political Engagement and Hope   Let us know what you think.

Generative AI poses new challenges for political campaigning and our democracy as we head towards the 2024 presidential election. While this technology could streamline political messaging, there is greater fear that it could enable widespread manipulation and distortion of the democratic process. Heading into a contentious election, how can we assess and mitigate harms from AI-generated disinformation? How will the use of generative AI be different than prior “cheap fake” attempts? How should policymakers prepare for and respond to the use of AI in political advertising?On this episode, Shane is joined by Scott Brennen and Matt Perault, co-authors of “The new political ad machine: Policy frameworks for political ads in an age of AI.” They discuss how generative AI is transforming campaigning and address constituents' pressing concerns around the technology including AI-manipulation risks, synthetic media transparency, and evolving regulations for political advertising.

Dr. Alexander Coppock, Associate Professor of Political Science at Yale University, shares his research on measuring the political effects of persuasive information. We discuss how political persuasion affects voters holding different viewpoints, the durability of these effects over time, and how much political ads seem to affect voters' political attitudes. Here are Dr. Coppock's research studies discussed in the episode: Persuasion in Parallel: How Information Changes Minds about Politics (2022)The small effects of political advertising are small regardless of context, message, sender, or receiver (2020)Does digital advertising affect vote choice?

Several publisher CROs are optimistic that ad revenue is coming back in a positive way in the back half of 2023 and Reuters CRO Eric Danetz is no exception. Beyond rebounds in ad categories like finance, as well as growing strength in auto and travel, 2024 presidential election campaigns are starting to kick off and as a result, political advertising revenue is flooding back into the digital media ad market. Wanting to take advantage of that revenue influx but also needing to maintain an unbiased position as a news organization, Danetz said his team has to carefully consider where and how campaign ads are placed. On the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast, Dantez discusses how the ad market is performing within his large news media organization and burgeoning technology, like generative AI, can play a role both in the newsroom and on the business side of Reuters.

Russell Mindich, political consultant and author of the 2022 Political Tech Landscape Report, shares his insights on the role of social media in political campaigning. We discuss social media influencers and how campaigns are connecting to them on TikTok, the move towards politicla advertising on streaming services, and the potential uses of ChatGPT and other generative AI for politics. Here's a link to the Analyst Institute, mentioned in the episode. 

David Finkelstein, CEO of BDEX, talks about data and technology. While ChatGPT has gained recent attention in the AI industry, many are unaware of the widespread use of AI in adtech. Previously, only large companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon had the resources to leverage AI for adtech, but now, companies like BDEX are making these technologies more accessible to smaller businesses. Today, David discusses generative AI's impact on adtech.
