Jumaane Williams, New York City Public Advocate


With more than fifteen years navigating the nation's largest media market and its complex political landscape from both sides of City Hall, Argus Strategies turns community challenges into policy victories and public support.
We serve:

Our founder and CEO, Stefan Ringel, has advised some of the most high-profile governmental offices and political campaigns in New York City since 2010. He has been recognized by City & State New York as one of New York City's Power 100, as well as a Pride Power 100 member and 40 Under 40 Rising Star.
Stefan launched Argus Strategies in 2026 to share his strategic communications and public affairs experience with organizations focused on creating lasting good. A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and Fordham University, he lives in Prospect Park South with his loving husband and their beloved dog.

Argus is the spirit behind this business, named for the twin inspirations of Odysseus' dog and the hundred-eyed giant who served as a watchful guardian for Hera.
He's also a year-and-a-half old mini Bernedoodle and a fuzzy gentleman.
Like our namesake, Argus Strategies brings the clear vision to break through for you, and our constant vigilance as we fight beside you.
