Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • May 2026 FreeWheel partnership extended, with 18x higher match performance reported.
  • June 2026 Catalist models for paid streamers and FAST viewers expanded product depth.
  • Open roles in June 2026 signal hiring momentum across sales, media buying, and programmatic trading.

What critics are saying

  • Political ad spending depends on election cycles; 2026 midterms will reset demand sharply.
  • Comcast FreeWheel controls critical identity infrastructure, exposing DSPolitical to platform dependency risk.
  • Republican-aligned competitors can undercut targeting with larger datasets and broader seller relationships.

What makes DSPolitical unique

  • DSPolitical owns Democratic voter data and exclusive Catalist streaming models.
  • Its FreeWheel integration gives deterministic CTV targeting across planning, activation, and measurement.
  • It stayed focused after Optimad's 2021 acquisition and still serves Democratic campaigns.

DSPolitical and FreeWheel Partner on Political CTV Ads.

DSPolitical and FreeWheel Partner on Political CTV Ads. The data and ad tech alliance gives campaigns the ability to target voters more precisely DSPolitical, a leading digital advertising company that works with Democrats, and FreeWheel have announced that they will be working together on political advertising in the runup to the mid-term elections. As part of the alliance, the two company are providing tools that give campaigns the ability to activate first-party voter data through FreeWheel Buyer Cloud and Identity Network to reach validated voters more precisely and at scale across connected TV (CTV) ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The partnership comes at a time when campaigns are increasingly prioritizing CTV for its ability to combine the impact of television with the precision of digital targeting. During the 2024 cycle, as campaigns faced tighter timelines, shifting priorities, and unprecedented competition for voter attention, DSPolitical leveraged this approach to deliver measurable results across premium CTV environments. As the first political firm to onboard its voter data through the FreeWheel Identity Network, DSPolitical enabled campaigns to activate deterministic, first-party audiences seamlessly across planning, activation and measurement. DSPolitical reported that its work with Freewheel in 2024 led to: * 18x higher match performance on incoming premium CTV bid requests, compared with other leading identity providers. * Over 30% faster audience onboarding through Buyer Cloud, compared with other leading platforms. The two companies said that those gains demonstrate not only incremental improvement, but DSPolitical's ability to eliminate common sources of delay and data degradation as its clients prepare for midterms, where speed, accuracy, and adaptability could help decide who wins and who loses. "The difference between winning and losing in 2026 could come down to a handful of persuadable voters in a few key districts," said Mark Jablonowski, CEO of DSPolitical. "When the stakes are this high, Democrats can't risk close calls. Campaigns need every possible advantage, and that means being able to activate high-quality voter data quickly and at scale across CTV to reach and persuade the exact right voters. That is exactly what our first-of-its-kind partnership with FreeWheel enables." The professional video industry's #1 source for news, trends and product and tech information. Sign up below.
