WASHINGTON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DSPolitical, a leading digital advertising and technology company for Democratic and progressive candidates and public affairs initiatives, today announced a first of its kind partnership leveraging Beeswax, FreeWheel’s demand-side platform. The arrangement provides DSPolitical with the ability to unlock capabilities and match voter file data to sophisticated household-level identifiers via the FreeWheel Identity Network, significantly enhancing the accuracy and scale of voter-targeted Connected TV (CTV) advertising.

DSPolitical is the first political digital advertising company to leverage the FreeWheel Identity Network to further integrate privacy-centric voter file data into CTV campaigns.

This technology not only enhances our clients’ ability to reach voter audiences, but also ensures brand- and privacy-safe, high-quality ad placements during this critical campaign season."

The FreeWheel Identity Network – an identity solution that creates interoperability between aggregated leading identity solutions and client first-party identity data – will provide DSPolitical with a robust and highly accurate targeting mechanism, significantly improving the scale and effectiveness of CTV campaigns.

"As we near the presidential election, we are excited for Beeswax and DSPolitical to partner to drive impactful, results-oriented advertising using the FreeWheel Identity Network, which bridges first-party IDs with common identity signals, setting a new standard for accuracy and efficiency in voter audience targeting,” said Mark McKee, General Manager of FreeWheel.
