ChoiceStream Unveils Political Programmatic Offering for the 2016 Election Cycle

ChoiceStream allows political candidates and campaigns to use digital advertising to pinpoint, reach and engage voter blocs who are hard to reach with key messages and content

BOSTON – ChoiceStream, a provider of programmatic advertising for brands and agencies, today announced a political offering for campaigns ahead of the 2016 Election. ChoiceStream’s programmatic technology solution will empower campaigns and candidates to identify and organize specific audiences into segments. Leveraging the company’s Pollshare platform campaigns can use polls to better understand the specific preferences and motivations of key blocs of voters and utilize that first party data to deliver customized messaging and content to key voter segments online, in real time.

“The increase in political spending stems from general trends in the advertising industry, the importance of social media, the rise of mobile advertising, and the ability to target specific audiences. ChoiceStream is leveraging its built-from the-ground-up polling and programmatic advertising technology to help create successful digital political campaigns.”

“During the 2016 election cycle, spending by Super PACs and PACs on digital advertising by campaigns is expected to hit an all-time high,” said ChoiceStream CEO Eric Bosco. “The increase in political spending stems from general trends in the advertising industry, the importance of social media, the rise of mobile advertising, and the ability to target specific audiences. ChoiceStream is leveraging its built-from the-ground-up polling and programmatic advertising technology to help create successful digital political campaigns.”

Powered by ChoiceStream’s proprietary solutions – Pollshare, cs.Console, Thunderdome and Dynamic Creative – political campaigns can personalize content and messaging to potential voter’s persona and see success online and in the voting booth. For example, one campaign can show a middle-class parent an ad about rebuilding the middle class, while a young businesswoman would see an ad about equal pay. This kind of audience insight, message testing and targeting is invaluable in a presidential election – especially in a field this crowded.

“We have seen great results when we have utilized Pollshare to further define target audiences and taken those insights to ensure that we are delivering a customized, creative message to the right users at the right time,” said Casey Schreiber, Manager, Government, Political and Advocacy, ChoiceStream. “These programmatic solutions and services are what make ChoiceStream a unique, invaluable partner for the upcoming cycle.”

ChoiceStream garners top insights through its platforms:

  • Pollshare polling platform allows campaigns to target current or custom audiences through the world’s largest source of self-declared data, and market to them accordingly. Pollshare provides campaigns with a better insight into who their audience is, giving them the opportunity to personalize each ad with key messaging.
