About

Jonathan Rick

Like many bloggers, I spend my days as a social media consultant. My clients include the federal government, nonprofit organizations, and private companies.*

Before becoming a digital specialist, I honed my skills in traditional communications. I held positions with the American Conservative Union, where I served as communications director; with the Institute for Humane Studies, which appointed me a journalism fellow at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review; with the Cato Institute, where I edited and pitched op-eds; with Time magazine, where I wrote for the magazine’s Notebook (now Briefing) section; and with Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where I prepared submissions for the Food and Drug Administration.

My writing has been published in the book, What We Think: Young Voters Speak Out (2004); on the new media blogs, TechPresident, K Street Cafe, and GovFresh; and in the Politico and PRWeek. I am a graduate of Hamilton College, where I swam, won numerous awards for writing, speaking and research, and earned a BA in government and philosophy.
