He’s a former print and broadcast journalist turned PR pro and now, entrepreneur. He speaks about branding, public relations and social media at corporate events, conferences, trade shows and other venues and he blogs at New Media Cowboy and on the PitchEngine Network, a social community he created to cultivate ideas and help “PR meet social media.”
In creating PitchEngine, Jason is helping to evolve public relations as a whole, bringing authenticity and engagement to PR through the integration of social media content. By utilizing the PitchEngine Social Media Release, brands are not only engaging media contacts the traditional way, but also consumers. He’s fostering a new approach to a century-old craft.
