Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Mandel is a creative strategist, marketer, and educator with 20+ years of experience building brands, leading global campaigns, and launching marketing programs across retail, digital, and agency channels. Now an Assistant Teaching Professor and longtime adjunct, he translates hands-on agency and enterprise marketing wins into classroom practice—teaching strategy, copywriting, presentation skills, and practical AI tool use for future marketers. He’s led marketing P&L and growth efforts that doubled flagship product revenue at GARP and drove agency wins at Konica Minolta, while also co-founding a creative shop to keep one foot firmly in industry. A former creative director and copywriter, Jason blends storytelling instincts with data-driven program design and a knack for turning complex briefs into clear, persuasive work. He’s also an active front-end contributor to p5.js—adding interaction features like doubleClicked()—reflecting a curious maker’s mindset beyond traditional marketing. Based in New York, he balances boardroom strategy with candid classroom “war stories” and the realities of being a caffeinated hockey and cheer dad.
