Jason Cieslak

President, Pacific Rim, Leadership, based in Los Angeles

Jason admires the kind of athletes who can lead while being part of a team. “Walter Payton, Joe Montana and Michael Jordan—I was lucky to grow up in such an era of great role models,” he says. It’s not surprising, then, that his priorities as leader of Siegel+Gale’s West Coast operations reflect those of his boyhood heroes: energy, focus and clarity of purpose, along with a dose of humility. “If you take yourself too seriously,” he points out, “you can’t be a great team player.”

Among the Siegel+Gale client relationships Jason has managed are Baylor Health Care, Capital Research, Demand Media, Experian, Lexus, Lifescan, Microsoft, Nestlé, Qualcomm, Shell, Sony PlayStation, Southern California Edison, and Yahoo!

In his previous role of Executive Director, Interactive Media, Jason led Siegel+Gale’s Interactive Media practice worldwide, helping clients to maximize their brand presence in emerging digital media.

Prior to joining Siegel+Gale, Jason was the Marketing Director for Lee & Associates, one of the country’s premiere commercial real estate firms, where he established a full-service marketing department including regional advertising, marketing collateral, standardized business development systems, and implemented a company wide database management system.

Jason attended the University of California, Riverside, where he received a BS in Business Administration, and is a graduate of Omnicom’s Senior Management Program. He’s a frequent speaker and panelist at marketing and new media conferences and has been featured at American Marketing Association, CES, The Conference Board, CTI Expo, Internet World, KMWorld, PCIA GlobalXchange, Silicon Valley Brand Forum, Southern California Software Association, and Digital Hollywood.
