With Presidential campaigns in full swing, candidates are doing everything they can to make a great impression with voters, gain trust, and earn votes. Not only are they doing this through the TV commercials we see daily, but with online ads, too.

When the same narrative is delivered from ad to page, user expectations are met and candidates establish credibility with voters. Enter Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg.
