Unlocking the potential of the U.S. Hispanic voter base has never been more critical, and the possibilities are infinite. Until now, Hispanic audience intelligence has been limited, leaving countless voters unheard and untapped in the electoral process.

You’re only reaching a fraction of U.S. Hispanic voters, the fastest-growing racial and ethnic group in the U.S. electorate. Political advertisers have been wasting their budgets on ineffective, inaccurate audience targeting and missing out on millions of votes because they don't know how to reach Hispanic voters. But how can you reach Hispanic voters efficiently and effectively when they are consistently underrepresented or misrepresented in traditional media planning and measurement tools? There’s a chasm between what you know about Hispanic voters and what you need to know to reach them. It’s time to close that gap.

You need precise audience targeting, and you need it now. Decades of microtargeting experience and building custom audiences for clients have shown us what advertisers in public affairs, issue advocacy, and purpose-driven marketing need: granular, precise targeting that’s as dynamic as their campaigns and powerful enough to make a substantial impact with their target groups. And they want it on their own terms because every second and every mistake counts and costs in advertising. To put the power of building hyper-targeted audiences informed by Tunnl’s peerless data library into the hands of advertisers and agencies like you, Tunnl created the Audience Builder, an always-on, self-service tool in the Plus and Premium tiers of Tunnl's AI-powered audience intelligence platform that empowers users to build hyper-targeted audiences based on your own selection of issues, demographics, geographies, and interests, any time, any day, and fast.

Agencies have a lot of people to please. When clients come to you, it’s because they want higher returns on their ad spend and more qualified leads in their pipeline. But media fragmentation is making it harder than ever to reach the right people, and even when you can, more than one-third of internet users employ ad blockers to thwart your efforts. Meanwhile, media buying industry profits are expected to decrease despite improved revenue, your budget is shrinking, and expectations are through the roof. Strategic audience targeting is your ticket to overcoming the odds, but how can you guarantee best-in-class results to every client that comes through your agency? If you have clients counting on you, you need accurate and easily accessible audience data that can be applied seamlessly to the different campaigns you’re pitching and planning. And you need tools for analysis, planning, and measurement. But you don’t need a more complicated tech stack. Seem like a lot to ask for? Tunnl doesn’t think so.

76% of customers feel that targeted advertising helps them discover new products and 40% of consumers actually prefer targeted ads, according to Gitnux. Give the people what they want, right? That’s the crux of audience-based media buying: delivering your ads to the people who genuinely want to see them and who are more inclined to take action on your message. You’re probably already using some form of audience targeting in your ad campaigns. But if you’re still struggling to see significant results like qualified leads and more conversions, then there’s more to audience-based media buying that the microtargeting experts at Tunnl can teach you to harness.
