Targeting
This section shows spening per targeting criteria used by political parties to reach citizens in the run-up to the 2nd 2023 Greek parliamentary election for the latest available data.
Spending per Targeting Criteria
How much did campaigns spend on different targeting methods? The graphs below show spending overall across all parties and by party.
Note: targeting criteria can overlap so the percentages do not sum up to 100%.
Top Targeted (Detailed) Audiences
Here, we show the top targeted audiences for each party for the “detailed” targeting that Meta offers (ranked by amount of Euro spend). Most (but not all) of these audiences are “interest” audiences, i.e. the parties targeted people interested in “Books” or “Politics”.
Top Contested Audiences
Here, we show the top most contested audiences, i.e. where all parties have spent considerable amounts of money competing to reach voters with the same interests.
Geographical Targeting
The graphs below show various kinds of location targeting that parties engaged in on Meta platforms. The bigger the area the more money was spend by the party on targeting this location.
Geographical Exclusion
On Meta, political parties can also exclude certain geographical units. The graphs below show which locations were excluded from seeing political advertisements and how much money the parties spend on these ads. The bigger the area the more money was spend on ads excluding this location.
Cities
