Vianovo

With twenty-five years' experience in state-level and presidential politics, as well as international communications, Tucker Eskew leads Vianovo's Washington office, overseeing the development and execution of strategic communications programs for corporate and public policy initiatives.

From grassroots America to the global information climate, Tucker has served as both high-stakes strategist and high-visibility spokesman, developing messages and tactics to lead opinion during the most intense public debates of the new century. He played leadership roles during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars; in the 2000 campaign and recount; for the Bush-Cheney re-election, and for the McCain-Palin campaign, where he served as counselor to the vice-presidential nominee.

Tucker served until December 2003 as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Global Communications. In this capacity he developed strategic communications to promote American policies around the world and led the Administration's wartime messaging.

During the war in Afghanistan, Tucker served in London as the President's representative to No. 10 Downing Street for communications strategy.

In 2001, during his tenure as Director of the White House Office of Media Affairs, he oversaw the Administration's strategy and tactics for "outside-the-Beltway" news organizations, talk radio, specialty media, and the President's official website.

In the mid-90s, he co-founded an electronic commerce business and later started a South Carolina-based public relations and business-consulting firm.

Previously, Tucker served eight years as Press Secretary and Communications Director to South Carolina Governor Carroll Campbell. Tucker began his career on President Ronald Reagan's 1984 re-election campaign.

In 2004 he founded Eskew Strategy Group, LLC, which was merged into the newly-formed Vianovo in May 2005.

Tucker serves on the board of the Melanoma Research Foundation, he volunteers his time at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria, Virginia and he mentors students as a member of the advisory council for the College of Charleston's Department of Communication. He graduated with a B.A. in Political Science (departmental honors) from the University of the South (Sewanee).
