About

LA meets DC

If you want to be persuasive, don't aim for the head. Lead with humor, heart, and when necessary a hard kick in the ass.​

​

That's where I come in. 

​

I'm a partner at the DC-based consulting group Democracy Partners and a former Hollywood screenwriter specializing in politically charged TV dramas. That means I combine storytelling techniques from entertainment and politics, creating narratives that move people's minds by grabbing their guts – and occasionally by being hilarious.

​​​​

  • As a Senior Video Producer for the Kamala Harris campaign, I wrote and produced some of the campaign's highest performing ads in audience testing.​

​

  • Other ads I've produced have been used as messaging models for top-level Democrats, including the Biden White House.

​

  • I've built multimedia campaigns for clients like J Street, helping break the thorniest issues ​into digestible content. 

​

  • I've led cross-functional teams to create content and strategies that have helped raise millions of dollars, recruit tens of thousands of volunteers, and generate over a billion impressions.​

​​

  • I've appeared on many occasions as a political analyst for Sky News Arabia (what Jewish guy hasn't) and made my name with a two-year stint as a political opinion blogger for the LA Times.

​

If you're ready to tell a standout story that moves your audience to action, let's talk.​

​

Joel is one of the best writer-producers I've ever worked with. He created some of the strongest ads of the entire Harris campaign because he really gets political strategy and story. You can hand him a huge project and know he'll just manage the process and make everything happen.

Joel has a gift for translating nuance into emotionally powerful content, even on tough issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He laid the groundwork for a massive expansion of J Street's multimedia program and delivered some of the most impactful ads our organization has ever produced. He is an exceptional multimedia strategist, writer, and producer.
