Marketing political contributions from Washington

Washington donors who listed their occupation as Marketing reported $1,297,168 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 7,180 contributions from 232 donors. Nationwide, MARKETING-coded receipts total $29,904,769 across 133,163 contributions and 5,619 donors. Washington holds about 4.3% of those dollars. This page is the occupation-and-state intersection on FEC.gov, not a CMO census, an Ad Age agency roster, or a NAICS advertising extract. MARKETING is a short function string. Marketing Manager and CMO are other keys if those extra words appear. FEC.gov does not verify a marketing department or a brand-side versus agency role.

  • The national MARKETING occupation total is $29,904,769 from 5,619 donors and 133,163 contributions.

  • MARKETING is a filer-entered string, not a license census.

The Marketing–Washington intersection

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation MARKETING and donor state WA. Matching rows sum to $1,297,168, 7,180 contributions, and 232 donors. MARKETING is a short function string. Marketing Manager and CMO are other keys if those extra words appear. FEC.gov does not verify a marketing department or a brand-side versus agency role. The occupation hub is $29,904,769 across every state in the aggregate. The Washington state hub mixes every other occupation that used that address code. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Washington’s dollar share is 4.3% ($1,297,168 of $29,904,769). The remainder, $28,607,601, sits in other states on the occupation hub. A donor-key count of 232 and a 4.3% state share mean Washington is one slice of the labeled roll, not the whole occupation. Correlation between a job title and a donor address is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,297,168.

Open Marketing donations for the $29,904,769 roll. Open Washington campaign finance for every occupation coded to WA. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-state pages without combining dollar figures. This join does not rank Marketing versus other titles in Washington.

The Marketing string across every state on file

$29,904,769 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to Washington. Marketing Manager, CMO, Sales, and Advertising are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $29,904,769 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

The occupation hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state under MARKETING, not only Washington. This file stays on the overlap. $28,607,601 remains on the hub as the complement of $1,297,168. MARKETING is a short function string. Marketing Manager and CMO are other keys if those extra words appear. FEC.gov does not verify a marketing department or a brand-side versus agency role. Do not fold those sibling strings into $29,904,769 and then cite the sum as this join.

Washington as donor state, not recipient geography

232 Washington donors produced 7,180 contributions totaling $1,297,168. Donor state WA is the address on the record, not proof of a Washington license, and not a limit to Washington candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate $1,297,168 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns.

The Washington campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to WA. This join is only MARKETING. The Marketing occupation hub without Washington still holds about 95.7% of the $29,904,769. Open Washington campaign finance for the mixed-occupation state total; keep this page for the Marketing filter.

232 donors and the gift math in Washington

Dividing $1,297,168 by 7,180 contributions yields about $181 per gift. Dividing by 232 donors yields about $5,591 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 30.9 (7,180 ÷ 232). Nationally the same occupation string averages about $225 per gift and 23.7 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string in Washington, not payroll.

232 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × state aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in Washington. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 232 figure. No median is published in this packet.

What 4.3% of Marketing-coded dollars is not

A 4.3% share of Marketing-coded dollars from Washington does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and state are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that Washington donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,297,168 as itemized individual receipts tagged MARKETING and WA, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

Occupation hub, Washington hub, and sibling keys

The occupation hub still holds $28,607,601 outside Washington. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the state, not either hub restated. Marketing Manager, CMO, Sales, and Advertising are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of MARKETING on this page. Gifts per donor in Washington average about 30.9. That ratio is 7,180 divided by 232, not a measure of turnout.

A clean footnote names occupation MARKETING, donor state Washington (WA), $1,297,168 in itemized individual contributions, 7,180 receipts, and 232 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $181 per line and $5,591 per donor in the cell. If the live Marketing donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 7,180 as unique workers in the trade.
