Brace yourselves—2024 is set to be a blockbuster year for political advertising. With a whopping $12.3 billion in projected spending, that’s already a 30% jump from the $9.6 billion shelled out during the 2020 election season. While traditional TV buys will still claim a big chunk of the budget, digital media is set to capture 28%, or approximately $3.5 billion of the total ad spend this year. This is nearly triple the amount spent on digital advertising just four years ago.
