Brad Todd • Partner

Brad Todd has established a reputation as one of the country’s best young media strategists.

Brad's innovative advertising has earned him national awards and helped Republicans win some of the country’s closest campaigns.  Outside his work for candidates, Brad has done extensive work advising college and professional sports figures and organizations.

As a founding partner in the new firm OnMessage Inc., Brad has produced innovative advertising in the 2006 election cycle for Michael Steele’s Maryland campaign for U.S. Senate, Dick DeVos’s campaign for governor in Michigan, Clay Shaw’s targeted congressional re-election campaign, and independent advertising for the Republican Governor’s Association and National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Prior to founding OnMessage Inc. with partners Curt Anderson and Wes Anderson, Brad was a partner in the Todd & Castellanos Creative Group along with veteran GOP adman Alex Castellanos. At TCCG and its sister firm National Media Inc., Brad wrote and produced television and radio ads for the 2000 and 2004 Presidential campaigns and made his mark winning the most expensive and contentious congressional campaigns in the country – including Pete Sessions’ 2004 race against Martin Frost and Randy Forbes’ 2001 special election in Virginia.

Outside the candidate arena, Todd has earned national recognition for his advertising on the issue of school choice, with national and regional campaigns to create Washington, DC’s school voucher program and preserve Wisconsin’s school voucher program.

Before joining with Castellanos, Todd, 36, served as Executive Director of the Tennessee Republican Party, managed winning campaigns and was a member of Haley Barbour’s well-regarded political team at the Republican National Committee.

Todd holds a Master’s degree from the University of Missouri School of Journalism and a Bachelor’s Degree from Rhodes Collge. An East Tennessee native, Brad and his wife Elizabeth now live in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.
