The Three Point Team ::

Mattis Goldman has devised strategy and created advertising for dozens of campaigns and advocacy organizations, winning hard-fought victories and multiple Pollie Awards along the way.  

Called a “Democratic ad guru” by CNN, Goldman has helped elect Democrats across the country, including: Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, New Mexico Auditor Hector Balderas and Maryland Congressman Chris Van Hollen.

In 2010, Goldman created TV and radio ads for two of the major independent expenditures supporting Jerry Brown’s successful campaign for Governor of California, earning a spot on MSNBC’s Top 10 Ads of 2010 list.    
 
Analyzing Sherrod Brown’s come-from-behind Senate victory in 2006, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer wrote, “In terms of effectiveness, Brown’s ads grade out at a solid ‘A.”  The previous year, California Political Week called one of the ads Goldman produced for Villaraigosa’s landmark campaign “one of the best we’ve seen.”

Goldman has created ads for leading Democratic organizations, including the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Attorney Generals Association, and several state parties.  In 2008 and 2010, he helped California’s Assembly Democrats pick up three targeted seats.

In addition to candidate work, Goldman has helped win numerous local and statewide ballot initiative campaigns, and advised a wide range of advocacy organizations, from SEIU and UFCW to MoveOn.org and the Los Angeles Community Colleges.  

Until 2007, Goldman was a partner at the former Washington, DC media firm Doak, Carrier, O’Donnell, Goldman and Associates, Inc.  Prior to that, he served as Press Secretary to the Speaker of the New York City Council and as communications aide to Al Gore’s 2000 campaign.
