IQM Launches AI-Powered Custom Voter Audiences

Executive Signal Summary

IQM Advertising Corporation announced the launch of Custom Voter Audiences, an AI-based audience-planning product for political advertisers. The solution uses multi-sourced, verified voter files and a natural-language AI interface that lets advertisers describe the voters they want to reach; the system generates activatable, hyper-precise audiences segmented by geography, partisan lean, demographics, interests, turnout propensity and issue affinity. The product is led by Vai Gupta (Chief Product Officer) and Sanjay Vaghela (Chief Technology Officer) and is rolling out across IQM’s network of political advertisers. IQM will measure performance via audience match rates against verified voter files, time-to-activation, campaign budget efficiency, and usability rates.

Givsly Extends AI Values-Based Audiences to Political Advertising

Givsly, a values-based marketing company, announced its AI-driven audience discovery solution is now available for political advertising. The offering uses Values-Based Audiences, built with a vector methodology that combines values, inferred motivations, and behavioral signals at ZIP code level, rather than individual-level voter files. Political campaigns and PACs can segment communities based on more than 150 tracked values and issues, overlay their own voter files, turnout models, or CRM data, and aim to reduce wasted media spend. The audiences will initially be available through OpenX and Index Exchange via Index Marketplaces, with a broader rollout planned. Givsly says the solution uses aggregated, modeled signals rather than individually identifiable voter data.
