Advertising, Marketing & PR Executive. Political Consultant. ... and a proud member for 2 years 42 weeks

Roy Moskowitz was born in Monticello NY, the capital of the Catskills, in 1962. His father is a Holocaust survivor and his late mother, the daughter of Sephardic Jews who immigrated to America from Turkey via Mexico. Combining course work in Political Science, Broadcast Journalism and Speech Communications, Roy informally created a course of study in political communication at Syracuse University, where he was student coordinator for California Senator Alan Cranston's presidential campaign. His other extracurricular activities included intercollegiate (Cross Country and Track freshman year) and intramural (everything) sports, student publications and radio as well as raising money for Muscular Dystrophy by running 10 miles backwards. Upon graduation in 1984, he worked as a small market print and broadcast journalist and then as director of communications and marketing for a chain of allergy centers. He also dabbled in stand-up comedy, actually getting paid once. Roy then proceeded to work for several media service firms, rising to the ranks of VP of sales before founding Reciprocal Results in 1997 as a specialty division of a $500 million entity affiliated with a multi-billion dollar advertising and marketing service industry holding company. This partnership ended in 2001 and Mr. Moskowitz relocated Reciprocal Results from Manhattan to his home in Staten Island. The company has since morphed into a full service ad agency. Roy is in the process of reinventing Reciprocal Results again as a political consultancy. After not being involved in a political campaign since running phone banks for Dukakis in 1988 because the long commute from Staten Island sucked the life out of him, 2005 Public Advocate candidate Andrew Rasieja's proposal for free universal wireless Internet service in all 5 boroughs resonated with him and he thought might do the same with the advertising community looking to make new wireless media platforms commercially viable. He became the campaign's liaison to the advertising industry and represented Rasiej on Staten Island as well. After discovering local Staten Island politics, Roy consulted for a few Staten Island candidates and eventually became communications director for Steve Harrison's Congressional campaign. In 2007, Reciprocal Results added Chris Owens as a client, marketing the the former Congressional candidate's TV show "Inside the Black Congressional Caucus" and resumed work for Steve Harrison, who ran for Congress again in 2008. He also handles publicity for Democratic City Council candidate Debi Rose. He is married to Ann, a New York Stock Exchange managing director.
