On Sept. 28-29, Georgia State University (GSU) in Atlanta held its annual Modern Media Conference and invited Lenz to play a part. Representatives from Time magazine, Vice magazine, CNN, Turner Studios, and other outlets spoke and met with students aspiring to embark on related careers.
Lenz media relations manager, Jon Waterhouse, a GSU alumni, shared his multi-faceted journey through the ever-evolving world of professional media. Jon spoke about his years working as a freelance entertainment journalist, an online blogger for major entertainment brands, and a radio personality on Sirius XM and elsewhere.
Saving the best for last, the grand finale of Jon’s speech featured details about his current work at Lenz. This drove home his theme of versatility. As media relations manager, Jon not only develops media strategy and places Lenz clients in the media, he also assists with Lenz-related events, serves as a guest host on Lenz-owned radio shows, and more.
