NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 29, 2012) - Ruf Strategic Solutions, a database marketing company, and Brilig, the industry's only cooperative data marketplace, announced a joint product for political display advertising. Now, SmartVoter is one of the freshest data platforms for this cycle that will drive campaigns to buy display ads, targeting undecided voters with a propensity vote.
Kurt Ruf, principal of Ruf Strategic solutions, said, "Ad Networks, DSPs, SSPs and Trading Desks can now access these audiences via Brilig. Voter related predictive scores of neighborhoods (ZIP+4) have been aggregated into audiences needed by political advertisers at national, state and local levels."
Audiences have been grouped into three broad categories each with over 50 million unique web users nationally: Political Conservatives, Political Moderates and Political Liberals. These can be further segmented by State and Congressional District as well as more specific attributes and index levels including:
- Registered voters
- Political party affiliation
- Made a political contribution in the last year
- Strong political opinions
- Evangelical Christian
- Pro-life or pro-choice
- TV news viewership
- Internet advertising responsiveness
These data points can also be output in direct mail lists, prioritized calling lists, targeted Email campaigns, social media outreach and our new "Mobile Canvas" applications.
Paul Cimino, Brilig's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Targeting potential voters at the neighborhood level protects individual privacy while enabling a high degree of accuracy as proven by years of micro-targeted direct mail marketing. Ruf's data enables advertisers to greatly expand their reach of the key audiences as match rates tend to be much higher for many advertisers. Brilig's data provisioning has already been integrated with many major DSP and Ad Exchanges like AppNexus so the Voter Targeting Data can be rapidly deployed and utilized by political advertisers for national, state and Congressional campaigns," said Cimino.
