In the dynamic realm of digital advertising, where algorithms and policies wield unprecedented influence over the success of marketing endeavors, a dire need for a platform championing freedom of expression and inclusivity has arisen. Enter Topple, a groundbreaking digital advertising platform launched in December 2020, positioning itself as the digital haven for marketers wary of the biases and constraints imposed by mainstream platforms.
Often referred to as the “Google Ads for the Digital Misfits,” Topple has been gaining traction for its commitment to providing an unbiased space for advertisers, particularly those adversely impacting by mainstream advertising prohibitions like those in the firearms and hunting industries.
Topple emerged from the collective vision of digital advertising executives with a cumulative management of over $6 billion in media budgets. Having established strategic relationships with major platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter (now “X”), these experts represented renowned brands like 20th Century FOX and Media Assembly, AdAge’s 2018 Media Agency of the Year. They saw the tell tale signs of digital censorship that have plagued the online advertising world as early as 2016.
The pivotal moment for Topple’s founder, Brian Aitken, was when Facebook unveiled the results of their mood manipulation study from 2014. The growing realization that tech giants were using their power to censor, block, or throttle the reach of individuals and companies they disagreed with ignited the spark for the inception of Topple. It was apparent that mainstream platforms were not acting in the best interests of advertisers and were allowing personal biases to dictate the fate of online advertising.
Aitken envisioned a digital advertising platform free from the interference of unelected tech employees making subjective decisions. The overarching goal was to establish a space where brands could advertise anything legal, while still enabling publishers to retain control over the types of industries and clients promoted on their sites. This marked a departure from the one-size-fits-all approach adopted by mainstream platforms, where entire industries, including firearms and conservative news and opinion publications, faced the looming threat of being deplatformed.
Topple has since raised seven figures in investment from 1517 Fund, Invariantes Fund, and Pete Brownell. All of these funds and individual investors are associated with fairly libertarian ideals. 1517 Fund, for example, was launched by Michael Gibson and Danielle Danielle Strachman after they spent years vetting investment opportunities for Peter Thiel. Similarly, Pete Brownell was once the president of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and is now the Chief Executive Officer at the company his grandfather started 85 years ago in Montezuma, Iowa and which is now one of, if not the, largest online retailers for gun parts in America.
The firearms industry was one of the early adopters of Topple thanks to the digital advertising laissez-faire stance on advertising and strong network of firearms related publishers which grew to include sites like GunDigest, Pew Pew Tactical, RECOIL, Ammoland, ARFCOM, and Gunbroker.
Major conservative publications like The Blaze, AnnCoulter.com, The Federalist, Newsbusters, and American Thinker joined Topple’s network of publisher and the platform served over 4 billion digital advertising experiences in its first year.
Digital sports-betting apps soon followed and the world of country music, pickup trucks, and high stakes political advertising wasn’t far behind.
Topple sets itself apart by seamlessly integrating with widely used conservative fundraising platforms, such as WinRed. Its advanced conversion tracking and retargeting technology are designed to synchronize effortlessly with your preferred platforms, including WordPress. This compatibility ensures a streamlined experience for political advertisers, enabling them to effortlessly monitor conversions and strategically retarget potential donors. In the digital advertising landscape of 2024, Topple’s commitment to harmonious integration with influential platforms underscores its dedication to supporting the success of a fair and equal election.
In the hyper-partisan world of politics, mainstream platforms often display biases that can hinder the outreach of specific political ideologies. Topple stands as a beacon of neutrality, allowing Republican and Independent candidates to convey their messages without the fear of being deplatformed or shadow-banned based on personal or political preferences. This freedom from mainstream biases has made Topple an attractive choice for political campaigns seeking a fair and level advertising playing field.
As the 2024 political landscape unfolds, Topple has solidified its position as the predominant digital advertising platform for Republican and Independent political campaigns. Its user-friendly interface, commitment to free expression, and neutrality in the face of mainstream biases have contributed to its widespread adoption among political candidates seeking an alternative to traditional platforms.
Topples’ commitment to freedom of expression, a censorship-free environment, and a level playing field have positioned it as the go-to platform for political campaigns seeking to navigate the digital landscape without the hindrance of biased algorithms or arbitrary censorship.
As Topple continues to empower political candidates, it signifies a shift towards a more inclusive era for political advertising, ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to be heard and that the power lies with the people, as our founders intended.
