Northwestern Mutual
Alex Castellanos' presentation yesterday to the Officer and Director team of PG&E set a very high bar at the beginning of our meeting. During the social hour following the meeting, several people came up to me and literally raved about how much they enjoyed hearing from him. We appreciate him giving our leadership team his unique perspective and insight into our nation's political climate and direction.
PG&E
We really expected Alex Castellanos to give his "standard" election speech, which would have been great. But he really engaged our Board members and did a great job of connecting politics to their business. I think he made our Board members feel like "insiders" which was one of our goals.
Association of Clinical Research Organizations
Alex Castellanos did an outstanding job. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy his presentation, and he was very easy to work with.
National Cotton Council of America

Meet Alex Castellanos

An integral part of CNN’s “Best Political Team on Television,” Alex Castellanos offers his sharp insights on politics in the age of Obama and what the current climate means for Republican campaigns of the future.

One of the Republican Party's best-known and most successful strategists, Alex Castellanos has been credited with the discovery of the political "soccer mom" and called the "father of the attack ad." He has written speeches, provided strategy and created TV commercials for seven U.S. Presidential candidates. Castellanos has also helped elect over a dozen U.S. Senators and Governors and enjoys over three decades of political experience, earning a reputation for winning tough campaigns both abroad and in the United States. Castellanos was one of the first to bring winning strategies from the political world to the battlegrounds of corporate America. He is a co-founder of Purple Strategies, a public affairs communications firm which takes its name from the merger of colors commonly identified with Democrats (blue) and Republicans (red). "Times of great change are times of great peril but also tremendous opportunity for business," says Castellanos. "Democrats are not becoming Republicans nor are Republicans becoming Democrats. On some issues, like economic growth, we are all in the same boat. That gives us the opportunity to unite a red and a blue communications perspective." He is also the founder of NewRepublican.org, a CNN contributor and posts regularly on media outlets including The Huffington Post, NationalReview.com and CNN.com.
