Will traditional policy-oriented ads help elect Vice President Kamala Harris, or will those rooted in storytelling be more persuasive in shifting voters’ opinions in her favor? Which approach can carve a path to victory with key voters?

Ground Media set out to better understand which advertising approach would more effectively shift voter opinion for the 2024 Presidential Election, especially among critical swing state voters essential to the Harris campaign.
