MAD Global announced Aug. 13 the acquisition of Millennial Strategies – launching the firm’s expansion into New York.

Millennial Strategies, a New York-based boutique political consulting firm, was co-founded by Jeff Guillot and Alex Voetsch, who will join MAD Global as managing directors to lead the operation across the Hudson. Longtime Millennial staffers Jenny Kate Schlagel and Tiffany Bryant are also joining the MAD Global team.

New York is now the third state in which Summit-based MAD Global has opened full-time operations, joining New Jersey and Ohio. The firm also has a presence in Pennsylvania and Washington state.

“This is a significant milestone for the firm as we continue to grow our influence since launching just two years ago,” Mike DuHaime, founder and CEO, MAD Global, said in a statement.

“Our acquisition of Millennial Strategies not only expands our East Coast footprint, but also boosts our reach and expertise in the New York metropolitan market,” said Laura Matos, MAD Global partner.

DuHaime said the firm continues to add top-tier talent in key markets, such as Guillot and Voetsch, who bring public and private sector experience to the firm. At Millennial, Guillot oversaw the governmental and public affairs division while Voetsch oversaw the campaign division.

“Jeff and Alex are well-respected players in New York and join our team of first-rate professionals at MAD Global,” said DuHaime.

“Jeff and Alex’s Democratic networks and experience amplifies our firm’s capabilities to provide valuable counsel to clients on both sides of the aisle,” said Matos.

“I am excited to join MAD Global and grow the New York operation,” said Guillot. “The acquisition from MAD Global will allow our team to continue to do what we do best – issue advocacy campaigns and government relations in the Empire State and beyond.”
