Dorf has worked with dozens of diverse clients across all areas of strategic communications, including the Center for American Progress, The Interfaith Alliance, Human Rights First, Johns Hopkins University, International Association of Fire Fighters, New Democrat Network, and the Wisconsin Advertising Project at University of Wisconsin-Madison, among others.

In naming Dorf one of the 50 most influential Jews in America, The Forward newspaper wrote that in an era dominated by image makers and message crafters, he and his business partner are “the dominant public-relations force in the Jewish community.”

Dorf served as the director of Jewish affairs and outreach for Gov. Howard Dean’s presidential campaign and as senior adviser to the Democratic National Committee on Jewish affairs and faith outreach. This election cycle he is also overseeing The Great Schlep that is bringing hundreds of young Jews to Florida to stay with their grandparents, JewsVote.org and J Street.

His decade-long journalism career with dailies and community newspapers in New York, New Jersey and Virginia culminated with a five-year post as the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Washington bureau chief where he covered four federal elections including the 1992 and 1996 presidential races. He also ran the American Jewish Congress’ Washington operations as director of government and public affairs.

A graduate of The George Washington University, Dorf also is a contributing editor to An Historical Encyclopedia of the Arab-Israeli Conflict and is the author of a widely respected guide to non-profit media advocacy.
