GOTV Campaigns

What is a GOTV campaign?

The purpose of Get Out the Vote (GOTV) ads is to motivate, and direct voters to their polling location on Election Day. Reaching out to the right voters with the right message is crucial in the last days of the election. GOTV messages that provide voters useful information regarding voting, help make them a plan and persuade them through impactful messaging, have a great impact on voter turnout. According to some studies, if done right, your GOTV effort can increase your votes by more than 10%.

Physical GOTV efforts work well, but they are manpower intensive and very time-consuming. In the critical last moments of your campaign, targeted ads are a scalable and efficient way to maximize your reach. There are many advantages of using GOTV ads to get the people moving in the critical last leg of your campaign. Digital ad campaigns provide the ability to frequently upload, match and target voters with specific messages.
