Greenberg Quinlan Rosner
Director, Marketing & Communications · 2003–2007 · Washington, DC
At Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, I worked in a chief-of-staff role to Stan Greenberg before moving into marketing and communications for the firm. The work took me from research and campaign coordination to managing the public profile of an international political consultancy.
Working with Stan Greenberg
I worked with Stan and James Carville on Democracy Corps, and with Stan on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. I was in the campaign war room the day after the election. I also helped Stan produce his book, The Two Americas, contributing research and coordinating its launch and publicity.
Campaigns across countries
During Britain’s 2005 election, I worked in London as a war-room liaison between Labour politicians, advisers, advertising agencies and US-based analysts. I was also deployed as an analyst to assist New Zealand Labour with campaign messaging.
Building the firm’s public profile
I later led the firm’s rebrand and repositioning, managing marketing, media relations and public affairs. I promoted research, prepared company principals for interviews, and drafted and placed articles.
I also managed public affairs around the production of Rachel Boynton’s documentary Our Brand Is Crisis, which followed American political consultants working in Bolivia.
