“Jason is a real-life superhero. When problems arise (operationally, in business, or creatively), he strategically problem-solves, ultimately saving the day!”
Samantha Fleming [ Chief Creative Officer, GoNoodle ]
Elan Freedman
“In working with Jason (at Spy Ninjas), I was incredibly impressed and inspired by his ability to simultaneously architect a content and creative strategy that directly informed a build out of the organizational structure. Jason had both the science and the art commingled in a wholly unique take on what a successful YouTube-based brand and business could evolve into.”
Elan Freedman [ EVP, Surge Licensing ]
Diane Nelson
“Pivoting from a 75-year old comic book publisher into a multimedia entertainment company, I challenged Jason to help re-establish DC’s identity with fans. First came the voice with a website and social media strategy that unified all of our character franchises into a fanspeak-friendly destination. Then came the face with DC All Access, a daily YouTube series hosted by fans talking to fans about the DC they wanted to talk about. Jason’s vision of the brand and executional know-how helped to elevate DC into the modern-day mythology fans wanted.”
Diane Nelson [ President, DC Entertainment, WB Consumer Products, WBIE ]
KC Estenson
"Jason has done work for me both as a consultant and as a full-time senior leader in my company. He truly is a 'Swiss Army Knife' professional: able to define a north star vision for an organization, craft thoughtful go-to-market strategies, define actionable business requirements to drive product-led growth and align multiple functions to get everyone moving fast with clear direction. Beyond that, he is an excellent content strategist who can carefully link brand position, content creation and a production system to drive increased user engagement and customer satisfaction."
KC Estenson [ CEO, GoNoodle ]
