VoteSpotter: Tenfold Audience Growth for Policy Engagement App Two Years Running

A2P supported the project team that developed VoteSpotter, a public policy mobile app that connects the user to their elected representatives to engage on issues important to the voter. In 2015 A²P used targeted social advertising to increase users tenfold, growing from a few thousand users in one state to a powerful activist base in ten swing states. In 2016 VoteSpotter continued to expand with A2P, generating millions of voter interactions across all 50 States whilst delivering Click-Through-Rates x4-x8 higher and Cost-Per-Engagement 75% lower than industry averages.

WHAT WE DO

A2P is a technology company that focuses on advanced advertising techniques to gather data and create unique modeled audiences to deliver highly targeted digital ads, industry-changing polls, and data analytic insights.

Since its founding five years ago, A2P has grown from a single client in year one to over 100 engagements by 2018.

We honed our offerings into four core areas (1) data analytics, (2) digital polling, (3) advanced digital advertising, and (4) digital campaign consulting). We deliver these services across three main constituencies: policy campaigns, political campaigns, and corporate marketing/brand lift campaigns.

Digital Strategy

The A²P team includes global tech leaders who better understand social information and utilize influence to shape groundbreaking marketing and political campaigns that achieve results.

With experience gained from dozens of deployments, including national and Statewide political campaigns and international marketing uses, our experts are uniquely positioned to support the development of your digital strategy.

Our market testing protocol uses “micro-buys” to identify the correct target audience.
Our approach allows A2P to expand target advertising audiences by modeling off engaged networks and people who closely resemble their attitudes and attributes.
Our human-assisted MatchEngine allows us to match across databases at one-tenth the cost of traditional matching.

Nano-Targeted Outreach

The most successful corporations and political campaigns are those that best assimilate, analyze, and rapidly use increasing volumes of online information from their constituents and audiences.

We build influential audiences designed to capitalize on peer-to-peer relationships. Using our proprietary database and advanced statistical methods we identify brand influencers by answering questions like:

Who are your supporters?
Who can they influence?
What (issues) do they care about?
Where do they reside?
Who has donated/purchased?
How many other potential supporters or customers can they influence?

Online Ad Campaign Management

Clients using A²P optimized advertising achieve 4%-8% CTR (click-through-rate) for online engagement campaigns, compared to industry averages of 1%. A²P provide full service management of your online advertising campaigns, from audience identification and building influencer networks, developing creative content, ad buying and engagement reporting across all digital platforms.
