We cut our teeth creating powerful, game-changing multimedia projects to help the public understand issues and ideas vital to our democracy.
Judy Doctoroff
Executive Producer and President
What motivates me? The belief that we all need to do what we can to help repair the world and correct the deep injustices around us.
Judy has supervised the production, promotion and distribution of over 700 hours of public affairs programming, along with the complementary web, social media, educational and community outreach campaigns. During her prior tenure as President of Public Affairs Television, Judy worked closely with Bill and Judith Moyers and was the Executive Producer of many PBS series including Close to Home, On Our Own Terms, Faith and Reason, and Moyers & Company. The work received Emmy Awards, a duPont-Columbia Gold Baton Award, an RFK Human Rights Award and numerous other distinctions. Now Judy is leading Public Square to continue that legacy of excellence while developing new strategies to report the news through the prism of American values, bringing fresh thinking to new audiences, and introducing important voices into our American public square.
Colby Kelly
Vice President, Impact
I always start with big. Why think small? Breaking out of silos to engage diverse partners can amplify reach to millions.
Colby has spent 30 years creating marketing communications campaigns for organizations and ideas that contribute to a healthier and more just society. Prior to joining Public Square Media, she was a founding principal of Kelly & Salerno Communications, for ten years one of the leading marketing and engagement agencies serving documentary filmmakers creating television for PBS and cable. Previously, Colby was Director of Strategic Communications at Thirteen/WNET, and started K&S Communications to expand her work with cutting-edge filmmakers to align video, web, publicity, advertising and organizational partnerships. Colby has rolled out dozens of campaigns reaching tens of millions of viewers. She has particular expertise in framing public health issues including mental illness, substance abuse, Alzheimer’s disease, gun violence, obesity, end-of-life care, and aging in America. At Public Square, Colby is now working directly with filmmakers to shape storytelling that can help drive civic engagement and forming partnerships to bring these ideas to the public.
Public Square is an engine of collaboration. Because we use the rapidly expanding menu of video and digital formats to create content, we build the ideal team for every project. These are some of the talented producers, directors, writers, editors, social curators, engagement experts, and designers that we have worked with on recent projects.
