Who We Are

Jared Kamrass is a Partner with Technicolor Campaigns. Before joining Technicolor, Jared Kamrass was the founder and Principal of Cincinnati-based Rivertown Strategies and a Senior Advisor to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, where he advised candidates and staff in some of the nation’s most competitive districts.

Following his time at the DCCC, Jared began his career in media consulting, working as an ad maker for a range of clients, including national committees, candidates for Governor, Congress, and other statewide and local offices. He has been a part of the only media consulting team to unseat Republican members of Congress in the last two cycles, and he is also a 2026 recipient of the AAPC's "40 Under 40" award.

Jared's path to politics was unusual. He attended Ohio State as the Great Recession was unfolding in real time. Though he had always harbored a love for politics, his initial plan was to pursue a career in broadcast journalism.

But his trajectory changed when he was told he had cancer the morning after Thanksgiving in 2010. Prior to that day, he’d been a normal 19-year-old college sophomore whose career aspirations included becoming a sports broadcaster. To that point, his political campaign experience was limited to knocking doors for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and helping manage his brother's campaign for OSU student body president.

He began treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and experienced the side effects that accompanied the chemotherapy and radiation amidst the backdrop of the national debate surrounding Obamacare. Jared became friendly with a peer undergoing Leukemia treatment and being raised by a single mom without health insurance. Their time together and the differences in their experiences, stemming from access to health insurance, motivated Jared to get in the game.

Jared and his wife, Emma, live in Cincinnati with their son and dog. In the Kamrass house, most things take a backseat to Ohio State football, but on any given day, you’ll be likely to find Reds, Bengals, FC Cincinnati, University of Cincinnati, and Washington Wizards games on in their house.
