Marketing political contributions from Illinois

Marketing and Illinois as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation MARKETING and donor state IL produce $1,540,096, 7,080 contributions, and 287 donors. The occupation hub is $29,904,769, 133,163 contributions, and 5,619 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 5.2%; contribution share about 5.3% (7,080 of 133,163); donor share about 5.1% (287 of 5,619). Two hundred eighty-seven Illinois donors are about 5.1% of 5,619 national donors; 7,080 contributions are about 5.3% of 133,163 national rows; dollars are about 5.1% of $29,904,769.

MARKETING DIRECTOR, MARKETING MANAGER, and SALES, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Marketing total. Do not stack MARKETING with MARKETING DIRECTOR or SALES into a single Illinois professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

287 Illinois donors produced 7,080 contributions, about 24.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.7 rows per donor nationally (133,163 contributions from 5,619 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Illinois cell is about $218, against about $225 nationwide. Illinois’s about 5.1% share of $29,904,769 tracks the national mix rather than concentrating dollars in a handful of people.

MARKETING as a one-word occupation bucket

MARKETING is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify an agency, a brand team, or a product line. The $29,904,769 national total is MARKETING only. 5,619 donors produced 133,163 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 133,163 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Illinois (IL). One hundred thirty-three thousand one hundred sixty-three national contributions make MARKETING a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state IL.

Illinois on the state side

287 Illinois donors produced 7,080 contributions totaling $1,540,096. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. IL is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Illinois marketing shop, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,540,096.

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only MARKETING. The Marketing occupation hub without Illinois still holds about 94.8% of the $29,904,769. Illinois’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IL. MARKETING is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not measure ad spend, merge director titles, or claim that Marketing-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. MARKETING is not MARKETING DIRECTOR even when filers meant a department head.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. MARKETING is not a NAICS advertising extract. Donor state IL is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Marketing filter

Subtract the Illinois dollars on this page from the national MARKETING occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded MARKETING in every other state combined. That remainder ($28,364,673) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 287 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 7,080 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,540,096 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Illinois dollars, or only the MARKETING national total, drops a key. Two hundred eighty-seven donors producing 7,080 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,540,096 headline.

Marketing donations holds the $29,904,769 national occupation total. Illinois 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. Illinois also has Dentist, Artist, and Realtor occupation-state ties with different facts.
