Director

Tal works with clients to seize on moments of significant change and manage how they and their campaigns are viewed in an increasingly fractured media ecosystem.
Tal spent almost a decade in journalism, both in television production and print, covering both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, the campaign trail, and MAGA and the conservative media ecosystem.
Tal can be found discovering new parts of New York City with his fiancée after over nine years in Washington, DC, and frequently cheering on/complaining about the New York Yankees.
Tal Axelrod is a Director in the Strategic Communications Division of FGS Global. In that role, he advises clients on moments on significant change, how they and their campaigns are viewed in the media, how to navigate perceptions on the political right, and more.
Before joining FGS Global, Tal worked at NBC News, The Hill, ABC News, and Axios, covering nearly every aspect of politics in Washington, from the White House and Capitol Hill to the campaign trail to MAGA's ascent as a grassroots force.
Tal is originally from Rockland County, New York and earned a degree in journalism from Northwestern University before moving to Washington. He now lives in New York City with his partner.
