"We found over 300 companies around the world who use data to give political parties insights into who voters are, what they want to hear and how to persuade them.
Upon doing a deep dive into their websites, we found a range of companies, consultancies, agencies and marketing firms, from local start-ups to global strategists, targeting parties that span the political spectrum.
This virtual, visual gallery captures the promises of these companies, giving a unique window into the services they promote and the compelling language they use, phrases like “we power democracy”, “emotions driven by data”, “changing the world one pixel at a time” and“winning elections with social intelligence”.
Mostly for-profit companies, with the primary aim of generating, maintaining and growing revenue, it is important to ask – what are the implications of allowing politics to be largely swayed by data-driven technology organisations?"
