The former New York City mayor has shelled out upwards of $400 million on advertising since joining the presidential race last November - with $25.7 million of that going to Hawkfish, his digital agency and primary adtech and data provider, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures.

Hawkfish is central to helping Bloomberg win the presidency and helping the Democratic party catch up to the GOP on the back of data. It's packed with a who's who from the worlds of politics, advertising, and technology.

Among the agency's key people are:

  • Former Facebook CMO Gary Briggs, who emerged from retirement in late 2019 to lead Hawkfish
  • Former Foursquare CEO Jeff Glueck, the head of digital at Hawkfish and the brains of its data operation
  • Former Viacom advertising executive Bryson Gordon, who is tasked with building out the campaign's audience segmentation, linear ad planning, and ad-buying strategy
  • Longtime ad-agency executive and former North America CEO of GroupM Tim Castree, who is overseeing the campaign's record-breaking paid-media budget
  • And several Google, Facebook, and Snapchat veterans including Josh Mendelsohn, Jonathan Jarvis, and Selby Drummond
