John Donovan

John has spent more than 15 years in politics and the private sector developing political and advertising campaigns for Fortune 100 Companies, trade associations, political candidates and elected officials.

In 2008, he crafted advertising strategies for the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Independent Expenditure Campaigns; and in 2006 he created Independent Expenditure spots for the DCCC helping win 8 of 10 targeted races – retiring GOP heavyweights like J.D. Hayworth and Nancy Johnson. As a Partner and Creative Director at Struble Oppel, Donovan offered strategic counseling and creative direction to some of the best-known figures in the Democratic Party, including Senators Tom Daschle, Bob Kerrey, Carl Levin, Fritz Hollings, Patty Murray, Byron Dorgan, Tim Johnson and Max Cleland.

Unique among Washington’s political consultants due to his extensive background in brand advertising, Donovan attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
