The Technology

The Digital Evolution
of Direct Mail

Think of how direct mail works: you send printed ads to a verified list of street addresses. IP Targeting mirrors this strategy exactly — but the advertisement is delivered online instead of in a mailbox.

We match your voter file addresses to the IP addresses associated with those homes. Everyone on that household's WiFi network sees your ad — across browsers, devices, and platforms. You're reaching the exact household you intend to reach, not a demographic proxy or a broad geographic radius.

Because targeting is based on verified physical addresses rather than browsing behavior, IP Targeting is fully cookie-independent. It doesn't require individual tracking or user profiles — providing accuracy and full privacy compliance as third-party cookies disappear.

🗳️
Voter File

Start with your modeled voter universe — VAN support scores, turnout history, ballot request data.

The Process

From Voter File to
Living Room Screen

01
Build Your Universe

Pull your target audience from VAN, past contact data, or turnout history. Segment by support score, geography, ballot request status, or any combination.

02
Match Addresses to IPs

Your address list is matched against a database of verified residential IP addresses. No cookies, no browsing profiles — just the physical address you already have.

03
Deploy Across Channels

Ads serve across banner, pre-roll video, Facebook-style placements, and mobile — all from a single matched universe with consistent message frequency.

04
Set Your Message

Deliver persuasion content, ballot return reminders, polling location info, or GOTV pushes — timed precisely around key campaign deadlines.

05
Control Frequency

Set impression caps per household. Reach the same voter 3–5 times without oversaturating — matching the multi-touch standard of any modern voter contact program.

06
Report and Optimize

Match exposure data back to the voter file weekly. Know who saw your message, adjust creative, and redeploy to underperforming segments in real time.

Ballot Chase Programs

Turn Requested Ballots
Into Returned Ballots

The goal isn't persuasion. It's reminder and follow-through. Digital ballot chase works when you can match a known supporter to ad delivery and time ads around return deadlines.

Build the Universe

Start with supporters who requested a mail ballot but haven't returned it. Cross-reference against county return data daily during the ballot window.

Segment and Prioritize

Separate high-support voters from soft supporters. Run different creative for each — urgency messaging for base voters, softer reminders for persuasion targets.

Run the Reminder Sequence

Serve ads saying "return your ballot now," "drop it off today," or "your vote hasn't been counted yet" across banner, video, and mobile — repeatedly, until the ballot is returned.

Include Practical Information

Drop box locations, return deadlines by county, cure instructions for ballots with errors. Low-friction information removes the last barrier between intent and action.

Suppress the Returned

As ballots are logged as returned in county data, suppress those households from the ad universe. Every dollar shifts to households still outstanding.

Built for Every Phase
of Your Campaign

🏛️

Statewide Judicial Races

Undervote activation is the primary challenge in judicial elections. Reach consistent general-election voters who skip the bottom of the ballot — education-first content, then GOTV reminders at the household level.

🗺️

Swing Universe Targeting

Precisely serve persuasion content to suburban collar-county households modeled as ticket-splitters or soft partisans — without wasting budget on your base or the opposition.

📬

Mail Program Reinforcement

Coordinate IP-targeted digital ads to drop the same week your direct mail lands. When voters see the same message in their mailbox and on their devices, retention multiplies.

🗳️

GOTV 72-Hour Window

Shift the full IP universe to GOTV content in the final 72 hours. Serve polling location info, Election Day reminders, and ride-to-polls messaging across your entire base universe.

✉️

Ballot Return Chase

Match requested-but-unreturned mail ballots to household IPs. Run a continuous reminder sequence with drop box locations and deadlines until the ballot is returned and suppressed.

⚖️

Issue and Ballot Initiatives

Build household audiences from petition signers, coalition member lists, or voter file issue proxies. Deliver education content before urgency — voters must understand the issue before mobilization lands.
