Colin Reed is a nationally recognized political and communications strategist with extensive experience guiding high-profile candidates, individuals and institutions with their most pressing campaigns and challenges. Described by The Hill as, “a veteran of the opposition-research wars that have helped to define presidential races,” Mr. Reed has worked directly with C-Suites and top executives at some of the nation’s leading private sector institutions where his instinctual understanding of the media environment and experience as a crisis communicator have drawn corporate leaders, particularly in the technology and energy sectors, to seek his counsel.
Mr. Reed cut his political teeth working for Republicans in deep blue New England. In 2014, he was the campaign manager for the Senate campaign of Ambassador Scott Brown in New Hampshire, which was described by a leading Republican pollster as “the best campaign” in the country. Prior to this campaign, Reed served as one of the primary spokesmen for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during his 22-point election win. He served for several years on Capitol Hill and spent the 2008 cycle on the presidential campaigns of Senator John McCain and Governor Mitt Romney.
Mr. Reed is a graduate of the Journalism School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Andrea.
