We Don't

Create Them.

Our Mission

Humanizing
Politics.
One Room
At A Time.

Most organizations rely on government affairs firms and lobbyists to advance their priorities. These specialists play a vital role — but effective influence requires more than policy advocacy alone.

Real alignment is built through ongoing presence, trusted relationships, and media visibility that extend beyond traditional government affairs. We are the connective tissue that keeps your priorities alive even when no legislation is on the table.

We move through the same spaces decision-makers do — from press briefings and civic events to birthday parties and community gatherings. That's where relationships deepen, timing becomes clear, and real influence takes shape.

Everyone wants to be in the room where it happens. We create it.
Constant Presence
We don't show up only when you need something. We're embedded in the political ecosystem year-round.
Human Connection First
We believe politics is personal. Real relationships — not transactional asks — are how influence is built.
Media That Moves
Every moment we create becomes content that extends your reach and keeps your priorities visible.
Compliance Safe
We don't lobby. We build durable influence through convenings, media, and political intelligence.

The Founder

The Political
Personality
Behind ITR.

Skye Ostreicher is a New York political personality, civic storyteller, and the founder of In The Room Media. With deep roots across New York's political landscape — from City Hall to Albany to Long Island — Skye moves through the rooms where decisions are made, and turns those moments into media that matters.

Her newsletter, Skye's Scoops, is the insider's guide to New York politics — who's spotted where, who's sitting next to whom at dinner, and what it all means for the city's power landscape. Think Page Six, but for the people shaping your city. Her on-camera work has put elected officials, civic leaders, and community voices on the record in ways no press conference ever could.

In The Room Media is built on a simple belief: storytelling humanizes power, and human connection is how influence actually works.

What We Deliver

Five Ways We
Create The Room.

Your GES partnership blends strategy, in-person events, media, and relationship cultivation to ensure your priorities are always present in civic conversations.

01
Strategy & Roadmapping
We define your objectives and map the stakeholders who matter most. Instead of static policy memos, we design dynamic engagement strategies — showing where to invest energy, how to sequence outreach, and when to activate.
02
Relationship Management
We maintain ongoing contact with elected officials, staff, regulators, and civic leaders. This isn't a single introduction — it's steady cultivation, trust, and timing. We make sure your relationships grow stronger over time, not just appear when you need them.
03
Event & Activation Execution
Our signature convenings — private dinners, cocktail receptions, salons, pop-ups, and roundtables — create trusted spaces where leaders engage candidly. These events humanize your priorities and spark conversations that can't happen in formal settings.
04
Media & Message
The Political Personality platform reaches policymakers and staff daily. With press credentials, we ask questions at hearings and press conferences that surface your priorities. We also create filmed interviews, op-eds, newsletters, and digital campaigns.
05
Speaking & Panels
We create panel opportunities, speaker slots, and press visibility that position your organization as a thought leader. These opportunities emerge from embedded trust, reputation, and strategic timing.
