Communications/Golin-Harris and Hill & Knowlton.
Like many of the PR profession’s best and brightest, Jones began his
career in journalism, working as a reporter for Computerworld and The
Los Angeles Daily News.
Ketchum Thomas handles a variety of business-to-business and
business-to-consumer tech clients, including Intuit, Nokia and Sun
Microsystems.
