OpenX Launches Targeted Ad Solutions for 2026 Midterms
OpenX Technologies unveiled a political-focused offering that provides prioritised access to curated, politically approved inventory across screens — including connected TV (CTV) — aimed at the 2026 US midterm season. The solution promises campaigns live in under 24 hours, ZIP-code-level targeting, localised measurement by county/DMA/ZIP, creative compliance tools, and auction-efficient pricing. OpenX also announced a first‑to‑market partnership with Givsly to integrate privacy‑safe first‑party signals from a database of 500+ non-profits to build values-based voter audiences (e.g., environmental, Hispanic support, women’s empowerment). Curated CTV publishers named include Newsweek, Plex and Xumo, and turnkey political inventory packages will be available to buyers via DSPs such as Basis, IQM and StackAdapt. The combined product aims to stabilise CPMs, improve audience resonance in contested ZIP codes, and expand premium political CTV inventory access.
Political Ads: Navigating Fragmentation and Fraud in 2026
The article discusses the challenges political advertisers face as media shifts from linear TV to streaming, with inventory fragmentation, varying identity verification standards, and heightened scrutiny for fraud and brand safety. It argues that more data does not guarantee better targeting; probabilistic identity can be inaccurate, risking misdelivery and wasted budgets within tight election windows. Ampersand presents TrueStream Political as a solution, consolidating authenticated, privacy-focused streaming inventory from Comcast, Cox, and Charter and applying deterministic, household-level verification to reduce handoffs and increase confidence in reach. The piece emphasizes the need for industry consolidation, transparency, and accountable measurement, especially under regulatory scrutiny. Sponsored by Al Behmoiras, VP of TrueStream Political Ad Sales at Ampersand, the post frames the product as a remedy for a fragmented political streaming landscape.
Comscore and Yahoo DSP Revolutionize CTV Political Advertising
Comscore and Yahoo DSP announced a partnership to bring Proximic Political Audiences to Connected TV (CTV), aiming to unify linear and streaming campaign strategies for political advertisers ahead of the 2026 U.S. election cycle. The solution lets agencies and activation partners, including MiQ’s political division, operationalize Proximic Political Audiences at scale across premium CTV inventory. The offering aligns CTV targeting with verified linear TV exposure and leverages Comscore’s local market measurement alongside Yahoo ConnectID to improve incremental reach and cross-screen coordination. Proximic Political Audiences are available for both PAC and candidate campaigns and can be measured at the local market level to enable targeted spend and accountability. The collaboration is positioned to help political advertisers coordinate messaging across linear and streaming environments for more efficient voter engagement.
