Jonathan Tran

“Without a doubt Jon is one of the most quick-witted, creative and personable copy writers that I have ever had the privilege of working with. As a project manager with Ripen eCommerce, I have worked closely with Jon on a number of website, email and print projects. I could always count on Jon to provide a cascade of carefully considered creative branding and campaign support copy, compelling hooks and appeals for headers, heros and banners, accurate customer product descriptions and feature highlights and core informational copy for our customer’s websites – basically, the full gamut of agency fare. Jon always works quickly, with a careful consideration of working time on task, quality output and deadlines. Add to this Jon’s understanding of the fundamentals of effective marketing and the working of the current online promotional space and Jon is the complete package. Hell, I even hear he is a seriously awesome gamer, too. As a team member, Jon brought a great upbeat manner to the office. Funny, outspoken (in a very good way), topical and incredibly sincere. As a project manager, I would work with Jon anytime. He is a true asset in any situation requiring a stellar creative performance.”

“I am fortunate to have worked with Jon in a number of capacities over the last 10 years. There are very few people in the world that could hold a candle to him. Jon is a creative thinker and a skilled copywriter. His tangible skills are on par with the best of his class. However, more important than his “on-paper” qualifications, is Jon’s ability to energize any work environment. He is the ideal intersection of skill, focus and passion.”

“Jon not only delivered projects on time and with meticulous thoroughness, but approached every assignment with an unmatched passion. From text ads to entire media campaigns, each project found new life through Jon's creative approach, while his infectious enthusiasm never failed to get the entire team excited. Besides his many talents in copy, Jon was always there to support different team members inside and outside of his department. Jon is a great team player who consistently delivered high-quality, creative copy during my time as project coordinator.”

“It is with great ease that I write this recommendation for Jon Tran. Jon reported directly to me for about 2 years. I interviewed Jon. I hired Jon. And I became a better creative professional by working with Jon. He makes the people around him better. Jon is extremely intelligent. And while intelligence does not always translate to creativity, for Jon, it does. His work and his ideas are always backed by sound thinking and strategy. He has great versatility in his writing. From print to digital to everything in between, Jon is highly talented. When Jon worked with me, he was learning a new style of writing. He mastered it in no time. And Jon would hit home run after home run in the assignments I handed him. Jon was also a great person to work with. I looked forward to seeing Jon. He adds a great dimension to any team dynamic. I’d work with him again in a second.”

“Jonathan is one of the sharpest writers I know. Whether it be satire, essay, memoir, script, short story, copy editing, poetry, or entertaining thousands of fans daily with his gaming blog, he's got it covered. Whenever I've got writer's block, I'll give him a call and within minutes he'll have five possible solutions. And beyond writing, his technical expertise is top notch, he's reliable, trustworthy, a hard worker and he's simply great to be around. An A+ guy.”

“Jonathan is a phenomenal writer— funny, edgy, with just the right mix of zingy rhythm and narrative elegance to make the most mundane topics memorable. He is a true pro, always on schedule, full of ideas, and is able to add a different twist to the most overplayed valued props and flattened brands— the mark of a natural. Jonathon is more than a good writer. He’s an exceptionally astute pro who gets where you’re going before you finish your sentence. And, it doesn’t hurt that he’s got a quirky, off-center sense of humor that makes him that much more fun to work with. Hire this guy if you can get him... before he’s famous.”

“Jon is a great person to work with. Very creative, timely, and client focused. He is able to think outside of the box, presents very well in person and on t-con.”

“Jonathan is hard working, dedicated, and knowledgeable. I have been Jonathan's AD for over one year now and through observation, he is punctual, compromising, and someone to go to in a clutch situation! It is a pleasure working with him and I recommend him to your company!”

“Jonathan is a diligent and innovative worker. I had the pleasure of working closely with him in a full-time capacity for over a year, and in that time, Jon successfully restructured our teacher staffing and payroll systems. He was so successful that we continue to use his systems, almost two years since his departure. Since then, he has impressed me as an instructor, and as earned strong and consistent approbation from his students. Any company would be lucky to have someone with his capabilities, quick wit, and sharp sense of humor.”
