2024 Election Outlook Report
Assembly projects a record $12 billion in political ad spend in new report for political and commercial advertisers
Assembly's industry-leading Politics and Advocacy Practice is projecting a record $12 billion in political advertising spend in the 2024 U.S. Election cycle, with $3B expected in the presidential campaign alone. The estimates come from their 2023-2024 Election Outlook report, which underscores the collision of commercial and political advertising in the ‘24 cycle and offers leaders insights into how to prepare. Key takeaways include:
- $9 Billion Blitz: Advertising spend is projected to hit $9B in down-ballot races, commensurate with the 2022 U.S. midterms, but concentrated in fewer, and fiercer, statewide races for Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and other state/local races.
- Urban Battlegrounds: Consumers in Las Vegas, Reno, and Philadelphia will bear the brunt of the political advertising blitz, ranking among the “hottest” markets in Assembly’s predictions.
- Colliding Fronts: Competitive statewide and house elections will coincide with presidential swing states – meaning the effects of political advertising will be impossible to ignore in certain parts of the country. Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania are battlegrounds to watch.
