About TeleDirections

Harvey Bennett
Principal


Harvey Bennett has been in the communications business for more than 30 years, handling program development, media and public relations, public affairs, and marketing.  He has worked for radio and television stations, private business, statewide associations, and most recently for the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

Harvey was a senior executive for more than a decade at Florida TaxWatch, the respected taxpayer research institute and state government watchdog. His primary role was to effectively communicate the impact public policies have on business and the economy.  He managed all communications and marketing, and later business development and the membership initiative.  He developed an annual program of dynamic regional briefings along with statewide community campaigns and forums on critical statewide issues.  These efforts achieved greater member engagement, media mentions, legislative awareness and action, and revenue.

His public policy development and implementation experience on tax, fiscal, insurance, business, and economic development matters includes testifying before the Florida Legislature and serving as a spokesperson.   Along the way, he has cultivated valuable relationships with major business leaders, corporate and association executives, and leaders of governments, colleges, and community groups.

Harvey personally works with each client to craft creative solutions for their needs and draws upon a team of talented associates to assist as needed in their execution.  

A graduate of the prestigious University of Missouri School of Journalism, Harvey worked as a reporter, anchor, newscast producer, and manager at various East Coast, Midwest, and Florida radio and television stations.  In 1998, he moved to Tallahassee to assemble and lead the team at Florida’s News Channel, the nation’s first 24-hour multi-channel regional television news service.  Harvey’s community involvement has included Communities in Schools and the Boy Scouts of America.
