Jason Wonacott
CEO
Wonacott Communications, LLC
As a seasoned communications professional, Jason possesses more than a decade of experience, driving successful PR, publicity, corporate marketing, crisis communications and online community relations for a number of companies across the digital media and entertainment, consumer lifestyle, technology and alternative energy industries.
His background is comprised of a unique blend of PR agency and in-house experience, private and public companies, corporate and product/service communications and television journalism.
Prior to launching Wonacott Communications in 2007, Jason was the head of corporate communications for the North American subsidiary of Korean online entertainment company WEBZEN, Inc., and Director of Corporate Communications for leading online games developer and publisher Turbine, Inc. before that.
Previously, as a senior member of two leading Los Angeles-based public relations firms, he provided strategic counsel and program tactical execution for a number of clients in the consumer electronics, digital entertainment, consumer lifestyle and alternative energy industries. Jason began his communications career as a TV reporter and anchor, working for Albuquerque, N.M.'s ABC- and CNN-affiliated KOAT-TV and NBC's television network's affiliate in Medford/Klamath Falls, Ore. He also served four years in the U.S. Navy.
Jason holds a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Communication from the University of Oregon, Eugene and is a member of the Public Relations Society of America.
When not working, Jason takes full advantage of life in Southern California - from surfing and hiking to wine tasting and sampling the many restaurants Los Angeles offers. He's a gamer, a music and movie junkie, and he studies Krav Maga, the Israeli hand-to-hand combat system, so don't mess with him. |
