Read more about founder Evan Thies, and the issues he's tackled for clients
Evan Thies founded Brooklyn Strategies after a decade of experience improving public perception and advancing agendas for elected officials and private clients.
Evan spent years in public service as a senior adviser in the New York City Council, at the office of Sen. Hillary Clinton, and as a communications specialist for political campaigns, including that of New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
As a government aide, Evan developed and executed political and communications strategies to successfully change public policy, influencing the direction of public resources and helping to pass legislation. For his work, Evan was named one of New York’s 40 Rising Stars Under 40. He was also recognized by the New York Daily News for "distinguishing himself in fights for affordable housing and public space," and by the New York Times for work on "reform and clean-air issues."
As a private consultant to some of the largest non-profit advocacy organizations in New York and in the country, Evan has fought for the rights of blue-collar workers, pushed for wide-ranging improvements to state and local environmental policy, and worked to expose corruption inside the federal government. For these groups and other for-profit clients, Evan has placed hundreds of news stories in media outlets across the country, and authored dozens of op-eds for elected officials and issue advocates.
