Creative Director and Minnesota as a high-row title join

Occupation CREATIVE DIRECTOR and donor state MN produce $44,324, 1,174 contributions, and 9 donors. The occupation hub is $5,970,821, 19,519 contributions, and 636 donors. The three shares are 0.7% of dollars, 6.0% of contributions, and 1.4% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $44,324 drops the row and donor keys. Minnesota Creative Director contribution share runs far ahead of dollar share on a high-row title.

Creative Director is a two-word title as typed, not a Director recode and not an Advertising recode. Nearby strings — DIRECTOR, ART DIRECTOR, ADVERTISING, and DESIGNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $44,324 or $5,970,821. Nine Minnesota donors produced more than a thousand itemized rows. Director in Pennsylvania is a different occupation string in this slice.

Nine Minnesota donors produced 1,174 contributions, about 130.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 30.7 rows per donor nationally (19,519 contributions from 636 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Minnesota cell are about $4,925, versus about $9,388 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR versus Director and Advertising

CREATIVE DIRECTOR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a creative-director appointment, a named Minnesota shop, or a union card. The national grouping is 636 donors, 19,519 contributions, and $5,970,821.

Nineteen thousand five hundred nineteen contributions from 636 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Minnesota’s 1,174 contributions from 9 donors is the MN-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Minnesota.

Nine Minnesota donors and a dense contribution count

Nine Minnesota donors produced 1,174 contributions totaling $44,324. Donor state MN is the address on the record, not proof of a Minnesota professional license, and not a limit to Minnesota candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Minnesota campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MN. This join is only CREATIVE DIRECTOR. Subtract $44,324 from $5,970,821 and $5,926,497 remains coded Creative Director in every other state combined (18,345 contributions, 627 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Contribution share far above dollar share on a creative title

This page does not measure creative director output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Creative Director-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Minnesota advertising-agency census, not a named-shop roster, and not a film-credit file.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MN is not recipient geography.

Creative titles that stay unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $44,324, 1,174 contributions, and 9 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Minnesota dollars, or only the Creative Director national total, drops a key.

Creative Director donations holds the $5,970,821 national occupation total. Minnesota campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. DIRECTOR, ART DIRECTOR, ADVERTISING, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Nine Minnesota donors produced more than a thousand itemized rows. Director in Pennsylvania is a different occupation string in this slice.
