Meet Juda Engelmayer

Founding Partner & Crisis Management Expert

If you need someone to take the heat, rewrite the narrative, and protect your reputation in the middle of a storm, Juda is the name the heavy hitters call.

He's a founding partner at Emerald Digital, industry legend, and the tactical mind behind many of the highest-stakes PR wins in recent history.

Juda's superpower? Relentless crisis management.

He's run point on situations most agencies would run from: corporate litigation, political meltdowns, international scandals, reputation rescue missions for celebrities, CEOs, and Fortune-level players. If the headline looks unsalvageable, Juda's the architect who puts out the fire and makes sure your brand comes out stronger on the other side.

He led crisis comms at HeraldPR, spent a decade as SVP at one of the largest PR firms in the country, and now sits as Co-Chair of Communications for Converge Public Strategies.

Every role, same through-line: when the stakes are highest, Juda's the guy steering the message through national media, social storms, and multi-channel campaigns.

His background is real. Decades deep in government affairs, nonprofit advocacy, and major media. You've seen his expert commentary everywhere (Washington Post, Fox News, USA Today, G2 Crowd, and more) on everything from celebrity scandals to policy debates.

Clients turn to Juda for more than spin. They get steel-trap strategy, deep media relationships, and a steady hand that holds fast under pressure.

Whether it's prepping for a billion-dollar merger or defusing a viral PR crisis, Juda's insight is the difference between damage control and full-blown turnaround.

If you want a partner who's been there, done that, and changed the game, Juda's the move. Put him in the room, and suddenly, your problem has a solution.
