Mr. Manetta is President of the Roosevelt Strategy Group, a Strategic Planning Consulting Firm focused on Public Affairs and Public Relations, which he founded in 2001. As an entrepreneur who quickly built his own successful consulting business, Mr. Manetta has devoted his career to helping other ventures prosper through creative communication, cutting edge-technology strategies, developing smart growth business plans, and implementing unique press initiatives.

  His diverse client base has ranged from Long Island’s largest residential apartment owner, to local fire departments, major law firms and a nationally recognized Washington, DC-based security institute. He is also well known for his political public relations skills, and his unique role in creating Long Island’s first online political community. His expertise in the area of internet growth has often made him a point person for the media on topics of the use of technology in political campaigns. Mr. Manetta has commented in Newsday, Daily News, Long Island Business News, Judicial Reports, Long Island Press and on FoxNews.com, WLIE 540am, and his firm was a frequent guest on WLIW’s Face Off.

  His string of winning political campaigns has made Mr. Manetta a respected consultant in New York politics. Working on campaigns from the village, county, congressional and statewide levels has given him the comprehensive knowledge needed to craft a winning message – in both the private and public sectors. In fact, Mr. Manetta was named by the Long Island Press as the "Best Political Puppet Master" in 2005, along with Suffolk Democratic Chairman, Richard Schaffer and Nassau Democratic Chairman, Jay Jacobs. In both 2004 and 2007 Manetta’s Roosevelt Strategy Group was named a finalist in the Best of Long Island (BOLI) competition for their creative media talents in the political advertisement division.

  A graduate of Dowling College with a BBA in Accounting and Economics, Mr. Manetta worked in the financial sector for several years prior which led to a position for the Majority Conference Leader of the Suffolk County Legislature. There he conducted research and analysis for the Legislature’s Budget and Finance Committee, and finally opened his own firm in 2001. His interest in finance has recently led him to pursue a MBA in Corporate Finance that will be completed later this year.

  Roosevelt Strategy Group specializes in helping large and small ventures grow through networking, promotions, technology and public relations.  Some of its clients have included: the Incorporated Village of Lindenhurst, Western Beef Supermarkets, JINSA (the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), Fairfield Properties and RAMP Motors. Mr. Manetta also acts as a Senior Communications Advisor to Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco where he worked to develop such initiatives as the CoputerCop internet safety program.

  To date, Mr. Manetta is involved in various community and business organizations. In 2007 Anthony Manetta was selected as Vice Chairman of the Suffolk County Independence Party and appointed as Senior Advisor to the State and National Independence Party Chairman.
