Outer Borough Campaign Group (OBCG)


   Past 80th Assembly District candidate Robert Giuffre and Mr. Hal Levy today announced the formation of the Outer Borough Campaign Group (OBCG). This will be a political consulting firm that will be distinguished by its exclusive focus on community-centered NYC candidates and campaigns.  OBCG specializes in direct mail services — targeting, designing and executing mail campaigns that reach frequent “prime” or receptive voters — and the ballot qualification process, in addition to generalized consulting work.  OBCG’s staff allows the firm to offer previously expensive services to city-level campaigns at more accessible prices than the small group of Manhattan or Albany-based political consultants who currently serve few city candidates.
  “It’s our goal to take on clients who have well-developed campaigns, but would rather spend their time out in the community instead of organizing logistically difficult mail operations or navigating city politics. We believe every NYC candidate can have a la carte access to these tools instead,” said partner Rob Giuffre.
  As of now OBCG has two clients — Cliff Stanton for Council of District 11 in Riverdale, Bronx, and an additional unnamed Bronx candidate. OBCG expects to partner with several other clients during the 2013 and 2014 elections.
  Levy and Giuffre have each worked in various managerial capacities on over a dozen campaigns, before formally founding an independent consulting firm.  Levy studies human rights at Columbia University, and Giuffre is a teacher at NYC public schools.
