Insights from the 2022 Midterm Elections
on How to Directly Reach Voters and the Future of Campaigning

Hello John:

 

A constant we have seen from election cycle to election cycle is that campaigns continue to evolve their strategy and tactics to communicate with voters. As we look to the upcoming election cycle, the role of advertising channels like direct mail will continue to evolve to bridge traditional and digital forms of voter outreach as newer tactics – like user-generated content and artificial intelligence (AI) – increase.

Informing the future of campaigns: During the past election cycle, many campaigns recognized that direct mail is a critical part of the media mix to reach target demographics, which resulted in roughly one billion additional direct mail pieces being sent by political campaigns during the 2022 Midterm Election cycle compared to the 2018 Midterm Election cycle.

Voter research uncovers new insights: Our latest joint white paper includes detailed and informed analysis of voter perceptions of political advertising channels from a post-election survey and focus groups. It examines what has shifted and stayed the same with voter behaviors and preferences, while outlining how direct mail has a growing and evolving role within political campaigns.
