About John Bumgardner

Over 20-years of experience in TV newsrooms, digital media and tech companies -- with a broad & concise background to complement my public relations and marketing expertise. My most recent work has been in the IT and technical spaces spanning beyond a decade -- forming relationships across the country and over many industries. I authored AP-style news copy in a variety of circumstances including: breaking news, movie/music reviews and red carpet interviews. I've led knowledge database projects - assessing knowledge gaps and identifying content which required updates - then both aided in creating and authoring technical content. I've also managed small and mid-sized teams of copy-editors, technical resolver and have trained overseas outsourcing stakeholders both in media and tech spaces.KTNV-TV, NV. Las Vegas was a breaking news, fast-paced, do-a-lot-with-few-resources, market. I directly managed the web & desk staff -- as well as served on the newsroom management team as Assignment Manager. In addition, I managed the chopper/pilot hours, fuel costs and aircraft maintenance schedule outside of sweeps.In 2012 I move back to Austin, launching Mint Public Relations | Media Consulting. I'm proud to have my repeat and contracted clients as part of the Mint Public Relations family, and grateful to be in Austin, Texas.-CRM/CMS: HelpScout, Asana, Jira, Taleo, Sweet Process, InfusionSoft, ClickBank, WordPress, MyEmma, Wix, Energize, Google Analytics, Site Catalyst, EndPlay, WorldNow, GNS, Inergize, Avid i-News (super user), also training in scrum techniques.-Documents: GoogleApps, Microsoft suite: Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Office 365-Video/Photo: Photoshop, GIMP, Avid, Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, Camtasia-Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, SnapChat, Social NewsDesk, HootSuite-Computer platforms: Mac and PC, iOS expert (Apple Inc. iOS support - from 7/14-10/14)-Coding: HTML 5 site creation, CSS knowledge, minimal JS creation

Avatar will make full use of the latest technology in order to bring down the cost of air travel, without sacrificing the creature comforts of luxury flight. Exclusive use of online reservations (“straight to the gate”) is a tremendous savings for Avatar, and allows it to pass on a tremendous savings to its passengers. Not only will Avatar not sacrifice creature comforts, it will actually enhance them. We realize that “creature comforts” may mean different things to different passengers. Some passengers may want to use their flight-time to totally unplug and relax by catching a few extra winks or by even curling up with a good book. We get it. There’s no reason these passengers should have to pay for technology they don’t plan on using. It’s one of the ways Avatar plans to keep the overall cost of flight travel at remarkably low levels. Avatar Airlines will utilize four-engine Boeing 747 jumbo jets, reconfigured with 539 seats in the main cabin and 42 office class seats on the upper deck, resulting in the lowest cost per available seat mile in the industry. A tremendous savings will be passed on directly to our passengers because of this. It’s not rocket science. Bigger aircraft + more seats = lower price. And when you’re free to walk about the cabin, you’ll have two roomy aisles to choose from, not to mention an average of about 9 restrooms.
