The Studio’s Matthew Butler worked with a team of researchers to build a large, validated dataset of U.S. presidential campaign television ads spanning 1952–2012. Using AI tools for transcription and summarization, the group created searchable transcripts, summaries, and key images that make it possible to study how campaign messaging has evolved over six decades.
