MEDIA ADVISORY
Philadelphia, March 15, 2007 -- Mayoral Candidate Michael Nutter unveils his consulting team headed by Neil Oxman of the Campaign Group.
Neil Oxman of the Campaign Group is the media consultant for the Nutter campaign. Oxman founded the Philadelphia-based Campaign Group in 1980 and has helped elect dozens of Senators, Governors, and Members of Congress. The principal media architect of two Presidential campaigns, Oxman has lectured extensively on media and political strategy at Oxford University, the University of Pennsylvania, and various other colleges.
Oxman is responsible for making the advertisements in Wilson Goode’s successful 1983 Mayoral campaign, Edward Rendell’s successful 1991 Mayoral campaign, Rendell’s successful 1995 Mayoral re-election, and both of Rendell’s successful gubernatorial campaigns in 2002 and 2006. Oxman and the Campaign Group were recently recognized by the bi-partisan American Association of Political Consultants for making the best congressional ad in 2006 for first-term Congressman Joe Sestak in Delaware County, PA.
Oxman is pleased to work with Mission Control, the firm responsible for the campaign’s direct mail. Adnaan Muslim, a partner, leads the creative element of the firm and Ed Peavy, managing partner, heads the strategic side. Missions Control is a direct mail firm based in Connecticut that works primarily with political campaigns and non-profit organizations. Both men are responsible for the winning formula of unique strategic recommendations and creative ad executions.
Garin Hart Yang Research Group (GHYRG) is the polling firm for the campaign. Frederick S. Yang, a partner with the firm, is heading the polling for the Nutter campaign. GHYRG is one of the most respected and successful political polling firms in the country for Democratic candidates. Yang counts several U.S. Senators as his clients, including Pennsylvania’s Bob Casey (whose victory was the first for a Democratic senatorial candidate in a regular general election since 1962).
“I’m very happy to add these incredibly talented and dedicated consultants to my team,” said Nutter. “Neil Oxman has a winning record in Philadelphia politics and I am excited to announce that he is on my team. Candidates Neil works for win.”
