These Four Democratic Firms Raked in $600 Million Running Ads for Kamala's Failed Campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign directed nearly $600 million to just four media consulting firms with deep ties to the Democratic establishment, Federal Election Commission records show.

The latest available FEC data show the Harris campaign exceeded $880 million in total spending as of October 16, though that number is expected to balloon to $1.5 billion after the Harris campaign files its post-election FEC report on December 5. Seventy percent of the campaign's known total spending flowed through four firms: Media Buying & Analytics, Gambit Strategies, Bully Pulpit Interactive, and Dupont Circle Strategies.

Together, these four Democratic firms were largely responsible for distributing Harris's campaign messaging across the nation—an effort that ultimately saw Harris lose all seven swing states and the popular vote but directed huge sums of donor money the firms' way.

Media Buying & Analytics

A little-known Atlanta-based firm founded in May 2019, Media Buying & Analytics was the top-earning contractor for the Harris campaign, raking in an astonishing $281 million for ad production and placement services as of October 16, FEC records show.

If Media Buying & Analytics had its way, its work for the Harris campaign would have been conducted entirely from the shadows. Media Buying & Analytics doesn't have a website, its business is registered to a law office in Atlanta, and the Harris campaign's checks to the company were made out to a UPS store in the city.

But Federal Communications Commission filings in 2020 linked Media Buying & Analytics to Canal Partners Media, a well-connected Democratic ad agency that has worked in presidential elections dating back to 1988. Canal Partners Media CEO Bobby Kahn confirmed to Business Insider in 2020 that his company owns Media Buying & Analytics, which was formed specifically to work for President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I bet many who worked at these companies didn't care whether she won or not. Heck, some may have voted for Trump.

To me, many of Harris' ads were cringe-worthy, and I don't see how they could have moved the needle towards her at all. If the goal was to go for the "undecided voters" of which I would think there were very few in the 2024 election, it was a big fail. Harris ads seemed to be geared to polish her credentials with the far-light wing of the party.

But, I'd like to know more about the firm, "Media Buying & Analytics". It seems a bit shady.

Did they they get paid, in cash? Serious question, since reports are that the kamala campaign is in debt.

Will her Creditors ever get paid?
