Chassidic Marketing Head Makes Prestigious Political Influencers List

YS Gold
Our community may know the work of Yoel Fried, the brain behind FriedCo Media, from myriads of ads and campaigns that appear in print and online within our community.
But this week, Mr. Fried gained recognition in the wider political world through his appearance on City & State’s 2023 Political Consultants Power 100 for his role in marketing for the campaigns of a slew of New York elected officials in recent years.
In addition to his commercial and non-profit marketing work, Fried has had a significant political marketing portfolio in recent years—serving as an entryway to the heimish community for these candidates through Yiddish and English-language media, a move that significantly boosted these candidates in their winning campaigns.
Most prominently, these included the campaigns of Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams, as well as a number of others.
The entry on the Political Consultants Power 100 list read: “Yoel Fried’s Friedco Media has assisted candidates in some of the biggest races in New York in recent years. The consulting and marketing firm helped Gov. Kathy Hochul connect with Orthodox Jewish voters across the state, formulating an effective messaging and media plan – including outreach to those who speak Yiddish – to maximize support in the community. Fried served as a campaign consultant for Jewish outreach in New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign as well. The firm also assists large nonprofits in fundraising campaigns.
“Key clients: Kathy Hochul for governor; Pat Ryan and Sean Patrick Maloney for Congress; Orthodox Union’s Teach Coalition.”
Speaking with BoroPark24, R’ Yoel said, “I am deeply honored and proud to have been featured on City and State's 2023 Top Political Consultants list, alongside a diverse group of industry leaders. I look forward to continuing to champion the voices of the community. Thanks to City and State for the recognition and to our clients for placing their trust in us.”
