That firm was Winning Directions, and since his permanent return to the organization in 2000 – and more than 80 Pollies later – Mr. Moran has been instrumental to the company's emergence as the premier strategic communications firm in the country.

Mr. Moran grew up in the hardworking steel town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and earned art scholarships to the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University. He completed his studies in fine arts, graphic design and architecture at Kent State University in Ohio.

His career history is rich with success in developing communications and persuasion. Prior to rejoining Winning Directions in 2000, Mr. Moran developed marketing materials for Netscape, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and many other California high-tech firms; advertising materials for motor sports associations such as the American Motorcycle Association, IMSA and NASCAR; retail catalogs for Macy’s California, Victoria’s Secret and Sharper Image; and posters, prints, calendars and greeting cards for American Greetings and Portal Publications.

As COO of Winning Directions, Mr. Moran oversees the finest staff of political strategists, account executives, and finance, accounting, design, production and IT experts in the country – all focused on providing Winning Directions’ clients with communications that reach the right people, with the right message, at the right time.

Among other honors, Mr. Moran was recognized by Campaigns & Elections magazine as a "Mover and a Shaker" in political communications.
