Joel Wesley began in politics through Hi-Frequency and MTV’s 2000
Choose or Lose campaign as project Manager for the grassroots
marketing team that provided support to MTV during the
Manchester, NH presidential primaries

Joel‘s innovative marketing design was chosen to represent Hi
Frequency when they were featured on CNN news’ Business Unusual
program. The segment emphasized how Joel and his team
specialized in developing and executing unique and edgy
marketing campaigns. The broadcast also focused on how Joel
utilized several under-the radar approaches on his projects,
including street teams, chat room invasions, guerrilla-style publicity
ploys, and other creative methods to connect directly with today’s
youth savvy media.

Joel’s experience has taught him that personal involvement is the
key to reaching young people. The 35-and-under generation has
been so saturated with traditional advertising and media images.
He attempts to break that norm and thinks outside of the box when it
comes to making marketing campaigns that leave lasting
impressions on the consumer.
