Bio
Alexa Lampasona
I had the pleasure of working with Jon on a few accounts and got to see first-hand the authenticity of his work. He put heavy research into each client to truly understand who they are, what their value was and how to position them to the media. Every pitch and media outreach was carefully crafted with a personal angle, something that is rare in the PR field these days. Jon is an incredible writer who can take on the form of any industry and expert and write as if he were them. He is a selfless coworker and mentor - he often took time to coach me on how to improve, provided tips for success, and stepped in to manage challenging client situations.
