Recent Career

In October 2007, Taylor joined Designated Market Media, a leading Republican media consulting firm. She and the other three partners of DMM also created another firm, known as the Blue Front Group, to handle corporate and nonpolitical work.

In mid-2009, Taylor co-founded, with public affairs veteran John Brady, the company Resonate Networks, an advertising firm that will use data on political leanings and attitudes to help companies and interest groups sell online ads. The company initial funding of $2 million came from a wide range of investors including President Bill Clinton's deputy chief of staff, Harold Ickes; Alexander Gage, founder of TargetPost Consulting, who worked on the Bush 2004 campaign with Taylor; Steve McMahon, media consultant and strategist for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign; Rich Tarplin, a strategist for members of Congress; and Linda Tarplin, a former senior staffer at the White House and Department of Health and Human Services under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan.

In October 2009, it was reported that Taylor was one of three GOP consultants with presidential experience who were advising Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. Pawlenty considered candidacy for the Republican primaries of 2012, but relinquished his campaign as of late 2011.

Taylor is currently the owner and president of a new media firm, BlueFront Strategies. BlueFront is a strategic consulting and public affairs company, focused on providing the business community with cutting edge issue advocacy and solutions.
