Joshua I. Altman
Managing Director
		Joshua is an experienced storyteller, strategist and creative force with more than two decades of experience shaping how people see, hear and connect with big ideas. Today, he leads beltway.media, a bold D.C.-based communications firm that helps brands and organizations cut through the noise.
Before founding the firm, Joshua was a multimedia journalist at The Hill, diving deep into federal policy including energy and the environment, tax and finance, healthcare, immigration, defense and criminal justice, and covering high-stakes election cycles right from the front lines.
For more than two decades, Joshua’s served as a member of The Telly Awards Judging Council, a select group of past winners who judge each year’s annual competition.
Now he works with everyone from scrappy startups to federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Commerce, helping them refine their message, elevate their brand and truly connect with their audience, whether that’s customers, investors or the public at large. From reimagining agency websites to crafting magnetic stories, Joshua’s work has one goal: to make communications clear, compelling, and impossible to ignore.
