CREATE YOUR OWN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TELEVISION AD WITH NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER'S NEW "AD-O-MATIC"

PHILADELPHIA, March 31, 2016 -- Today, the National Constitution Center released "Ad-O-Matic" (bit.ly/NCC-adomatic), a platform for visitors to create their own campaign ads this election season. Featuring voiceover artist Laurel Katz, known for her work in hundreds of local, regional and national issue and campaign ads, the Ad-O-Matic allows visitors create entertaining custom television ads featuring themselves as the candidate. In tailoring their ads, users can choose a positive or an "attack" ad, and select up to three key issues including the economy, environment, healthcare, education and foreign policy.
           
The Ad-O-Matic is one of the most popular interactives in the National Constitution Center's new feature exhibit Headed to the White House. The exhibit uses artifacts, interactives, and multimedia to invite visitors to travel from the campaign trail to the Oval Office, all in one visit. Headed to the White House is open through Election Day.
 
The Ad-O-Matic was designed and developed by the National Constitution Center with ad agency Holton Sentivan + Gury.
