I want to know if I can run political ads in Europe with one of the Microsoft programmatic platforms

Hello Carlos,

Thank you for using our Microsoft Advertising Community Forum! 

I understand you would like to run ads with political content. Unfortunately, political content is not allowed on our platform.

• Advertising for election related content including election canvassing and election polls, political parties, candidates, and ballot measures is not allowed.
• Fundraising for political candidates, parties, PACs, and ballot measures is not allowed.
• Advertising cannot exploit sensitive political issues for commercial gain or promote extreme political agendas or any known associations with hate, criminal or terrorist activities.
• Advertising may not insult any ideology or utilize religious symbols or motifs in a way that is considered in poor taste.
• Advertising that exploits political agendas, sensitive political issues or uses “hot button” political issues or names of prominent politicians is not allowed regardless of whether the advertiser has a political agenda.

Display:

• Use of political figures past or present cannot be linked in text or images to political content, products, sensationalized messaging, hot button issues, or as a way to link historical topics to current issues/events. For example, an ad with the headline “Lowest to Highest Presidential IQs, ranked” with an image of a political figure would not be allowed.
