Ad copy

I’m Dan Kleban, founder of Maine Beer Company, and I just announced my campaign to defeat Susan Collins in Maine. Now I know it sounds ambitious, but get this: Only 14% of Mainers approve of her, while 61% (!!!) disapprove. That’s why experts are saying this race is one of Democrats’ best chances to flip a Senate seat from red to blue. But as a Washington outsider taking on a career politician, I’m going to need all the help I can get to win this. So please, can I count on you to chip in and become a founding donor to my campaign today?

Standout elementFake 'BREAKING NEWS' banner overlaid on video frame to manufacture urgency and media credibility
TacticThe ad borrows the visual authority of a live news broadcast with a 'BREAKING NEWS' chyron and 'LIVE' bug to frame a fundraising pitch as urgent breaking news, while leveraging Susan Collins's low approval ratings as social proof to motivate first-time donors.
