The Three Point Team ::

Mattis Goldman has devised strategy and created advertising for dozens of campaigns and advocacy organizations, including Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock, and Maryland Congressman (and DCCC Chair) Chris Van Hollen.

Analyzing 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 won multiple Pollie Awards for effective advertising. 

In 2008, Goldman served as the lead media strategist for a number of candidate and issue campaigns, including a progressive, Senate-focused independent expenditure campaign in North Carolina.  In California, his ads helped Democrats pick up two seats in the State Assembly, and helped pass a rare sales tax increase for transportation.

Goldman produced award-winning TV spots that helped win the then-largest initiative campaign in Washington history in 2004; created TV and Internet campaigns for coalitions supporting health care reform in California, and has devised multi-media campaigns for organizations including Los Angeles Community Colleges, WakeUp Wal-Mart, CA Faculty Association, and SEIU. 

During the Republican sweeps of 2002 and 2004, Goldman created advertising for two of the handful of Democrats to pick up GOP-held seats: Van Hollen and New York Congressman Brian Higgins. 

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.  

Goldman currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Rebecca.
