Strategic Communications & Media Production
Manteca Media is a communications and public affairs strategy firm that leads high-impact campaigns and produces award-winning content for corporate and nonprofit clients. Founded by Emmy Award-winning media executive Feliciano Garcia.
Feliciano Garcia is the founder and principal of Manteca Media LLC, a strategic communications and media production consultancy based in Jersey City, New Jersey. He brings more than 20 years of national network experience to every engagement — built across the TODAY Show at NBC, CBS News, and his own independent work as a communications strategist and leader.
At NBC, Feliciano served as Coordinating Producer on the TODAY Show, leading breaking news coverage, presidential elections, and major international events including the Olympics. He earned three Daytime Emmy Awards for Excellence in Morning Programming. At CBS News, he served as Senior Manager of News and Editorial Operations, where he produced award-winning specials including Pandemia: Latinos in Crisis — recipient of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) National Investigative Award — and was a key contributor to the launch of BET's acclaimed investigative newsmagazine America in Black.
Feliciano is the creator and executive producer of Cafecito, an independent interview series featuring influential Latino voices distributed across NBCUniversal Telemundo platforms, for which NAHJ honored him as Online Journalist of the Year.
Through Manteca Media, Feliciano has produced and managed some of the most high-profile events in Latino civic and cultural life — including the LULAC Legislative Awards Gala, the NAHJ Noche de Periodistas Gala, and the Cielo Latino Commission on AIDS Gala. These events have brought together elected officials, celebrities, journalists, and community leaders on national stages. He has booked and managed talent ranging from award-winning actors to heads of state, and produced the logistics, rundowns, and media strategy behind each event.
His public affairs work spans numerous issue-driven campaigns across sectors — from media equity and civic engagement to health and education. He is a proud CHCI alumnus and serves on the board of Whole Spectrum Autism New Jersey.
