"Kara's demonstrated track record, coupled with her expertise and recognition in the political sphere, arrives at a critical time. As we spearhead innovation, we aim to provide campaigns with unrivaled capabilities for meaningful voter engagement. I am convinced that her contributions will be pivotal in our ongoing success."

Kara's appointment comes as Seedtag continues to innovate within the contextual advertising space, providing new ways for political campaigns to foster connections with voters. By leveraging Seedtag's AI platform, Liz, political advertisers can identify topics and keywords that resonate with key audiences, enabling them to craft compelling narratives and reach specific voters with greater relevance.

"I'm thrilled to join Seedtag and empower candidates and causes with our custom AI contextual targeting across CTV and the open web. Instead of relying on cookie-based targeting, which may not capture a user's current political views, our "issue-based targeting" actively bridges the gap between advertisers and politically engaged individuals who have a strong interest in key issues. This is crucial in an election year when campaigns need to reach the persuadable voter," said Kara Ullmann, Head of Political at Seedtag US. "As political campaigns seek new ways to reach voters without the use of cookies, Seedtag's AI-driven contextual targeting brings tremendous value to advertisers, enabling them to engage audiences with personalization at scale."
