Jason Runyan’s Summary
I am currently an MBA Candidate focusing my studies on Marketing and Brand Strategy at the University of Florida, located deep in the heart of hot and humid Gainesville, FL.
Prior to attending UF I was as a television producer in Los Angeles, CA where I worked at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and developed and produced primetime projects for NBC, CBS, USA, VH1, NICKELODEON, SPIKE and GSN.
Now I have fused my extensive creative and project management experience with an MBA education and I expect this fusion will make me a force in brand management.
