Advertising political money — 2010 cycle
In the 2010 FEC cycle, filers listing occupation ADVERTISING itemized $226,127 in individual contributions. The cycle filter holds 247 contributions and 133 donors. The Advertising occupation total across cycles is $7,811,913 ($7.8 million). 2010 is a thin slice of Advertising occupation dollars: 2.9% ($226,127 of $7,811,913). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. This page is an occupation-and-cycle join, not a restatement of one hub.
Key figures
- $226,127 joins the Advertising occupation string to the 2010 FEC cycle.
- 247 contributions from 133 donors produced that cell.
- 2010 is about 2.9% of the occupation’s $7,811,913 lifetime total.
- ADVERTISING is a filer-entered title, not a NAICS advertising-sector total.
- FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.
The Advertising × 2010 intersection
Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string ADVERTISING. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $226,127, built from 247 contributions and 133 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2010 is a midterm FEC window. 247 contributions from 133 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation.
The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. ADVERTISING is a one-word occupation, closer to a sector word than a rank. Advertising executive, copywriter, and marketing remain other keys. The join does not assign agencies, product lines, or media versus creative work. Creative, media, and account titles can share the sector word. This page does not split those roles or recode MARKETING into ADVERTISING. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $226,127. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.
The Advertising occupation hub behind $7,811,913
Advertising donations is the occupation hub: $7,811,913 ($7.8 million) across cycles from filers who typed ADVERTISING. Sibling strings (ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, ADVERTISING DIRECTOR, and MARKETING) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a NAICS advertising-sector total, an agency PAC, or a merge with MARKETING.
2010’s $226,127 sits inside $7,811,913. Because 2.9% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2010 is $7,585,786 (97.1%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2010 as the second dimension.
2010 as the cycle side of the Advertising join
The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Advertising. $226,127 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.
247 contributions from 133 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. About 1.9 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $915; mean per donor about $1,700. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $226,127.
Caveats on ADVERTISING in 2010
Matching Advertising with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Advertising donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a NAICS advertising-sector total, an agency PAC, or a merge with MARKETING.
Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ADVERTISING is a one-word occupation, closer to a sector word than a rank. Advertising executive, copywriter, and marketing remain other keys. The join does not assign agencies, product lines, or media versus creative work. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $226,127 funded USAspending obligations.
Linked Advertising and 2010 tables
Advertising donations holds the $7,811,913 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Advertising. All occupations places ADVERTISING beside other titles without merging sibling strings (ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, ADVERTISING DIRECTOR, and MARKETING). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $226,127 is not added to a different year.
Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Advertising dollars ($7,811,913). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $226,127, 247 contributions, 133 donors, 2.9% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.
How $226,127 sits under $7,811,913
Subtract $226,127 from $7,811,913 and the residual is $7,585,786 in other even-year cycles for the same occupation string, not a different title. 2.9% in 2010 leaves 97.1% of Advertising dollars outside this page.
Do not treat the residual as a named year. This packet only publishes 2010 as the cycle dimension. The occupation hub is the place for the full $7,811,913 series.
Questions

- The Advertising grouping’s 2010 cell is $226,127 in itemized individual contributions, from 247 contributions and 133 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $7,811,913 all-cycle occupation total.
- Is Advertising a NAICS industry total?
- No. ADVERTISING here is an occupation string on individual contributions, not a NAICS advertising-sector roll-up. The 2010 cycle filter on Advertising is $226,127, 247 contributions, and 133 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $7,811,913. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.
- What share of Advertising FEC money fell in 2010?
- About 2.9%. $226,127 divided by $7,811,913 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 97.1% ($7,585,786) on the occupation hub. See the Advertising occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.
- Does Advertising 2010 money fund federal awards?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $226,127 is itemized receipts tagged ADVERTISING in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
