WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Audience Partners, a leading voter targeting and political data company, today announced that it is partnering with Elite Daily, the voice of generation Y, to create advertising packages and content experiences that will better reach millennial voters.
Coupled with Elite Daily's millennial focused content, this partnership will leverage Audience Partners' National Online Voter File® enabling advertisers to identify readers by party affiliation and other voter file attributes to better customize messaging when they visit Elite Daily.
Jeff Dittus, CEO, Audience Partners said, "If we can reach and turn out millennials, the dynamics of this next election changes rapidly. This mobile centric audience is frustrated with our political system and through this partnership with Elite Daily we believe we can reach them as they consider not only who to vote for, but whether they should vote."
Miguel Burger-Calderon, President, Elite Daily said, "Alongside Audience Partners, we plan to engage our readers with empowering and innovative content that simultaneously creates value for our current and future brand partners specifically those who will need to engage millennials during the current political season."

Through this partnership political advertisers will be able to leverage useful ad templates that take advantage of the power of the smart phones; such as
By combining contextual targeting with the National Online Voter File to help advertisers target the right voting groups by party affiliation, vote history, and voting jurisdiction, campaigns and causes will be able to advertise with little or no waste.
