The Marketing of the President 2012

Campaign 2012 has already proven to be the most expensive presidential election to date with both parties pouring in hundreds of millions of dollars to influence voters. In particular, candidates and interest groups have increasingly relied on sophisticated online targeting and marketing efforts tailored to key voter groups.

Joseph Turow, professor of communication at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School
