Tradewind Strategies

Tradewind Strategies was founded by Josef Blumenfeld, a strategic communications professional for more than 15 years, with experience managing PR agencies and programs in 28 countries on six continents.

Joe’s clients have ranged from corporate global giants such as Wal-Mart and Philips, to small companies and technology start-ups – both in the US, as well as in international markets. Joe has worked at two leading global PR agencies, and managed the activities of a dozen more. His political and public affairs experience has allowed him to work with office holders, candidates and conventions of both major US political parties, as well as leading international organizations such as The Hague and The United Nations.

In 2004 Joe decided to combine his unique global experience with his desire to be an entrepreneur, bringing a new approach to global public relations management to market. As international markets continue to grow in importance, Joe realized that there is a need for experienced, hands-on global communications managers. The result was Tradewind Strategies, a consultancy that allows companies to identify international marketing resources and to expand their public relations and communications programs into new and growing international markets, without needing to add expensive internal headcount.
