The Challenge
Political Advertising Moves Fast. Most Infrastructure Doesn’t.
Limited Inventory
Premium political inventory is difficult to access during peak election cycles.
Time Pressure
Delayed activation leads to missed opportunities in fast-moving news cycles.
Waste Risk
Inefficient supply paths increase wasted spend on low-quality placements.
Targeting Gaps
Hard to fulfill highly specific political audiences with standard DSP logic.
Our Approach

“We don’t replace your DSP — we make it smarter by optimizing the supply side.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is political programmatic advertising?
Automated ad buying using DSPs with precise targeting and scale. It allows campaigns to buy digital audiences in real-time across the web, mobile apps, and connected TVs.
How is this different from a DSP?
We are not a DSP. We enhance DSP performance by optimizing supply-side execution. We curate the specific inventory nodes and deals that work best for political campaigns, allowing your DSP to bid more effectively.
Can I use my existing DSP?
Yes, absolutely. Splashbay is built to be “DSP agnostic.” We provide the supply-side deals and data curation that your existing team can use within the platforms they already know.
How fast can campaigns go live?
Typically within 24 hours. Because our PMPs are pre-vetted and our filters are always-on, we bypass much of the standard inventory approval lag common in the industry.
What targeting options are available?
We support ZIP-level, DMA-level, household, and voter data targeting. We can also ingest 1st-party candidate files and match them to digital IDs across our curated supply network.
