One of the ways that Russian agents interfered in the 2016 election was by using online advertising to spread disinformation. In 2018, Facebook, Google, and Twitter created new resources to help the public track political ads on their platforms, bringing more transparency to the sponsors of digital ads. Snapchat followed suit in September 2019. But these databases of political ads are woefully inadequate, as Issue One has detailed in a major report.

But to really know if a campaign actually works, consumer response must be compared with those who hadn’t been exposed to the ad.

This A/B study used “ghost bidding”—withdrawing bids from the excluded group at the last moment—to plot the true effectiveness of display, video and audio ads, and demonstrated a powerful validation of marketing effectiveness.
