Jon Corral

Updated March 2012

Writer, Product Developer

I'm a daytime copywriter, part-time inventor and all-around good guy to have around your agency. Aside from my experience with broadcast, SEO, print and digital copywriting,

I'm quick with a broom and have no trouble loading soda cans from the CostCo truck to the break room. I'm passionate about breaking new ground and creating new answers to old problems. Advertising has taken me from Detroit to Florida to Kansas City, and I plan to keep moving with it every step of the way.
