The anti-Acton ad is now running with a disclaimer that it was paid for by Vivek Ramaswamy and Rob McColley for Ohio, Vivek's campaign committee. But it's still not clear which firm made it. So I looked at the committee's media vendors and found that its biggest one by far is Strategic Media Placement, which received $11.8 million as of June 5. That figure accounts for much of what the committee paid media, polling and digital vendors through that period. I should be clear that I'm not saying Strategic Media Placement made the ad. I don't know that for certain. I'm saying that this vendor should be at the top of the list for trying to figure that out, and here are a few reasons why. According to state fictitious-name filings, Strategic Media Placement is registered to do business as "The Strategy Group Company." The campaign's own expenditure filings list Strategic Media Placement and The Strategy Group for Media at the same Delaware, Ohio, address. The CEO of The Strategy Group is Ben Yoho, who served as campaign chief executive officer for Vivek's 2024 presidential campaign, and is married to Tricia McLaughlin, the comms director for that same Vivek campaign. ProPublica reported that The Strategy Group got a share of $220 million in DHS ad contracts awarded under Noem; the firm says it was paid about $226,000 for five film shoots. At the time, McLaughlin was serving as Noem's chief spokesperson. She has said she recused herself from those contracts. I also looked at state filings for other campaigns and found payments to The Strategy Group for Media for "B-roll and interview shoot" and "media productions."
