Advertising occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Filers who listed Advertising itemized $692,878 in FEC individual contributions in the 2012 presidential cycle — 695 receipts from 311 donors. ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, MARKETING, and PUBLIC RELATIONS are neighboring strings, not this cell. The occupation string ADVERTISING sums to $7,811,913 across harvested cycles; this 2012 cell is 8.9% of that sum. FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed.

Key figures

  • $692,878 joins the Advertising occupation string to the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 695 contributions from 311 donors produced that cell.
  • 2012 is about 8.9% of the occupation’s $7,811,913 lifetime total.
  • ADVERTISING is a filer-entered title (an industry-word occupation string, not an ad-agency census).
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Advertising × 2012

ADVERTISING plus cycle 2012 equals $692,878. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2012. ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, MARKETING, and PUBLIC RELATIONS are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a license list or a firm letterhead census.

Parent hubs: Advertising donations and the 2012 election cycle. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $692,878 into another year or another string.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Advertising in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $692,878. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

What Advertising does not mean

Advertising is an industry-word occupation string, not an ad-agency census. An advertising pac, a 4a roster, or advertising executive as a longer key. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll.

2012 holds $692,878 of $7,811,913 — about 8.9%. A cycle cell at 8.9% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. Combining ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, MARKETING, and PUBLIC RELATIONS without naming each source total mixes keys. The 8.9% ratio is $692,878 divided by $7,811,913. Other even-year joins for ADVERTISING are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $7,119,035. Citing 2012 as if it were the Advertising lifetime total would overstate this cell by $7,119,035.

Volume: 695 lines, 311 identities

695 itemized contributions and 311 unique donors sit behind $692,878. Average gift size is about $997; average dollars per donor about $2,228; lines per donor about 2.2. Averages hide skew.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Advertising. This packet does not publish names. Open the occupation and cycle hubs for related tables; do not invent names here. A mean of $997 per itemized line and $2,228 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 695 contributions remaining larger than 311 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

2012 as a slice of $7,811,913

$7,811,913 is the all-cycle total stored for ADVERTISING. Subtract $692,878 and $7,119,035 remains in other cycles (91.1%). 2012 therefore accounts for about 8.9% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

Do not read 8.9% as intensity or a planned 2012 campaign. It is $692,878 divided by $7,811,913. The occupation hub is where the other windows live. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $692,878 if they were itemized against ADVERTISING. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

The two-year 2012 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2012 covers that even-year window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $692,878. This packet does not split those years.

The 2012 hub is the place to see every other occupation string that year. This page keeps the Advertising filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2012 giving is claimed. Advertising as an industry-word occupation string, not an ad-agency census can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $692,878. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

How to quote $692,878

A complete quote names both sides: Advertising and 2012, $692,878, 695 itemized contributions, 311 unique donors, FEC.gov. Add 8.9% of $7,811,913 if the lifetime context matters. Omit any number that is not in those facts.

The occupation hub is for other years. The 2012 election cycle is for other strings. All occupations and All FEC ties complete the packet hrefs. Quote both keys: Advertising and 2012. Quote the dollars: $692,878. Quote the volume: 695 contributions, 311 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them. Restating the join without new numbers: Advertising in 2012 is $692,878 from 695 itemized individual contributions and 311 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $7,811,913 across cycles, so 2012 is about 8.9% and other windows hold $7,119,035 (91.1%). The grouping is an industry-word occupation string, not an ad-agency census, not an advertising PAC, a 4A roster, or ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE as a longer key. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $997; mean per donor about $2,228; about 2.2 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $692,878.
