About John Ray
Hey there, I\'m John Ray - and yes, Ray is my last name, not part of my first. Born in the Ozarks, raised in the midwest and transplanted to the West Coast 14 years ago where I\'ve built a career spanning PR, influencer marketing, paid media, and large-scale brand operations.I spent six years embedded inside Nike\'s North America operations - managing their largest retail partnerships, leading cross-functional teams, and building the processes that kept thousands of campaigns moving. Since then, I\'ve been leading accounts like ELEMIS and Major League Soccer, bringing that same operational rigor to full-scale campaign production and strategic client partnerships. I\'m the person who builds trust inside complex organizations and turns that trust into growth.When I\'m not managing brand chaos, you\'ll find me two-steppin\' at the local honky-tonk, researching obscure film stock, or catching a movie at the Hollywood Theater.
