MANAGING DIRECTOR - FULLY REMOTE
** NOTE: Applications can only be accepted through our website at https://gideon300.breezy.hr **
Gideon300 is the leading public affairs consultancy in support of the global freedom movement.
We create comprehensive external relations strategies for our clients, and then guide them in strategic execution so they can reach their goals with measurable success. Gideon300 has been behind some of the most significant victories for freedom in recent history.
We always assume our opponents will have vastly greater resources than we do. More money, better technology, armies of high-powered experts, and everything else elites have at their disposal. We’re not intimidated by that because we are smart, scrappy, endlessly creative, and—most significantly—rely on the wisdom and aid of Divine Providence.
We operate with honor and integrity, and have earned the respect of other leaders in the movement.
Gideon300 was founded by veteran public affairs strategist, media personality, and entertainment executive Matthew Faraci. With decades of experience as an entrepreneur, TV host, producer, White House spokesman, Capitol Hill staffer, public speaker, and messaging expert, Faraci leads Gideon300 with his unique mix of creativity, relentless pursuit of excellence, and obsessive focus on results.
Our wider team has extensive experience in business, nonprofit, government, political communications, and production. Collectively, we’ve been involved in launching, promoting, and growing hundreds of award-winning campaigns and organizations.
