 Teddy Goff was the Digital Director for President Obama's 2012 campaign. In that capacity, he oversaw a team of more than 200 people nationwide who managed the campaign's social media, email, web, online advertising, online organizing, design, front-end and product development, design, and video strategies. According to TIME Magazine, "The goals were the same as ever: more money in the bank, more door knocks, more phone calls, more voter registrations and more voters at the polls. But the methods for achieving those ends in 2012 bordered on the revolutionary." As a member of campaign leadership, he also played a critical role in developing and executing the broader campaign's strategy for fundraising, organizing, and communications. Named "one of the most eligible hires in techdom" by Bloomberg Business Week and one of only four Obama strategists named to Ad Age's "wish list," Teddy's work on the campaign has been featured in Time, Bloomberg Businessweek, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, The New York Times, Business Insider, and elsewhere. Teddy is the co-founder of Precision Strategies, a strategic consulting firm that translates the skills and technologies that won political campaigns into a force in the private sector to help companies message, manage, and mobilize.

"Fast-talking, witty, humane, insightful, a true force of nature ... Barack Obama’s Social Media guru whipped the crowd into a loving frenzy. I’m largely clueless regarding US politics, but after 10 minutes and thirty-thousand words from the smartest guy in the room, I was high-fiving and doing my best Bruce Springsteen impression."
