Campaign finance reporting requirements vary from state to state and at
various levels of government, but you could also try looking at the
relevant election commission websites for the campaigns of interest to see
if that gives you a lead on which consulting firms were involved in
producing the ad
You may want to search your business and trade news sources - AdWeek, etc.
may mention the campaign.
There are many good libguides on advertising and political
commercials/campaigns. Many public sites have information about TV
commercials, but embargo recent ads.

I think ads tend to be created by specialized consultants contracted by the
campaigns so I would try to find them or their companies. Here is a link
for one well known one.

Hi all,
I have a user trying to find the directors of a few recent political ads.
Outside of contacting the various campaigns, which I'll try, any
suggestions on where else I might find that information?
Thanks,
