“Jason Edelstein gets my highest recommendation as a communications consultant. His portfolio is full of examples of stellar product. Jason’s quality work is consistently timely, thorough, and polished–fueled by both his intimate knowledge of the Jewish community and uncompromising professional standards to which he holds himself accountable.

There are few consultants in my thirty-five year career with whom I enjoy working as much as I do with Jason Edelstein.”

-Chip Edelsberg, Ph.D., Organizational Consultant, Former Executive Director of the Jim Joseph foundation

Foundation“Working with Jason Edelstein has been extremely gratifying. The Generation Now report, published by Jason and his team, has been received extremely well by a broad audience – in print and online. In addition, the media reach that Jason helped us connect to ensured that this report and its findings were spread far further than any of us had anticipated. I would gladly work with Jason again on future projects – he not only did his job really well, but made our team look exceptionally good in the process!”

-David Bryfman, Chief Innovation Officer, The Jewish Education Project“Jason Edelstein is one of the most highly skilled and hard-working communications professionals I’ve ever worked with. He is one of those rare people who can strategize as well as he can implement: he can see the big picture and also knows how to work with local, national and international press to deliver the right message to the right audience. Beyond his exceptional ability to grasp and articulate key messages customized to targeted audiences, he has the rare ability to work with diverse partners and help them come to consensus and work together. “

-Lisa Farber Miller, Senior Program Officer, Rose Community Foundation“We hired Jason to help us reach the biggest audience possible with our eScapegoat project. This was not without some challenges, since the project was already a year old. Jason was excellent at identifying potential press opportunities beyond those that we’d imagined, and helping us design a message that would break through. We got great results and were consistently impressed with his attention to detail throughout the engagement.”

-Sarah Lefton, Founder and Executive Director, BimBam“Jason’s strategic insights and media relationships have been critical to raising our profile as the credible patient voice on a variety of healthcare issues throughout California. This was especially evident during the implementation of the Affordable Care Act where he helped shape our messages that resonated with editors at major outlets throughout the state. Jason is also adept at understanding a dynamic and fast-changing healthcare environment – whether we dealt with legislation or other patient-related healthcare issues – and developing an effective and aggressive communications approach to reach more patients, consumers, influencers and community groups than ever before. With his help, we far exceeded our goals.”

-Carmella Gutierrez, President, Californians for Patient Care“I hired Jason for a day of communication training directed towards a group of nonprofit organizations. Jason exceeded my expectations in both his preparation leading up to the workshop and his facilitation during the day. Jason dedicated an extraordinary amount of time learning about the participants and the particular environments in which they worked. He combined this knowledge with his extensive content expertise to deliver a day of targeted and transformative learning for those in attendance. It was a great success and refreshing change from the standard, cookie-cutter approach to consulting and training.”

-Scott Mcgrath, Associate Director, New Camp Initiatives, Foundation for Jewish Camp“Jason has an excellent ability to think critically, see the broader picture, develop practical strategies, and implement those strategies efficiently and effectively. Jason took complex policy issues and turned them into understandable talking points for our biggest meetings of the year at the UN. He’s a winner who delivered time and again.”

-Ambassador Aaron Jacob, Associate Director of International Affairs, Office of Government and International Affairs, American Jewish Committee“Jason was an excellent and effective facilitator and trainer for our staff. He helped us create a year round communication plan that will keep us on track and moving forward. Jason was a dynamic teacher, available to answer all of our questions and a pleasure to work with.”
