Beginning his career in 1983 as a true pioneer in the marketing and promotions industry, U.S. Marketing & Promotions’ (“USM&P”) founder Jason Moskowitz has had a profound influence on the way today’s Fortune-500 companies are marketing their products. From gigantic record-breaking new product introductions to sophisticated mall marketing programs to specialized mobile vehicle campaigns, Mr. Moskowitz has set the precedent in the world of promotion marketing. Successes include the launching of many well-known brands from Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, AT&T, Crayola, Miller Brewing Company, Nissan, Hormel Foods, Wal*Mart, Reebok, Unilever, and Pepsi-Cola.
After ranking 107th on the prestigious Inc. 500 list in 1999 and #2 fastest growing company in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2000 rankings, USM&P ranked #1 atop PROMO Magazine’s list of the nation’s top marketing service companies in 2000. Realizing that he had taken the company to its maximum height as an independent business, Mr. Moskowitz skillfully guided the company through an electrifying M&A experience. It ended with a successful sale of the company to the world’s top advertising conglomerate, The OmnicomGroup Incorporated (NYSE: OMC and Fortune 500 #191), in May 2000 in a deal valued at over $250 Million.
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Moskowitz co-founded V2V Acquisitions & Development Company, LLC (“V2V”) as a private platform for real estate development, financing and investments. Under Mr. Moskowitz’s leadership, V2V has grown into a successful enterprise with various deals and experience in developments and financings of hotels, condominiums, single-family residences, office buildings, shopping centers, large-scale residential developments, land banking and financial services.

His focus included uncovering emerging investment opportunities, developing and maintaining investment community and institutional relationships. With his Top 25 business book, “Spark: Lending Your Way to Real Estate Millions, The Orchestra Funding Revolution,” and many magazine articles published, Mr. Moskowitz has taken an industry leadership position in providing an income producing investment vehicle that, he believes, will not only make the everyday investor a safe and generous return, but in fact, pave the road to global economic recovery.
Always looking ahead and up, in early 2002, Mr. Moskowitz co-founded and served as Chief Executive Officer of SkyBridge Private Air until its successful sale to Magellan Jets in 2012. Voted Robb Report’s prestigious 2005, 2006 and 2007 Best of the Best Award, SkyBridge is a leading international private jet charter-broker company serving the non-fractional jet market. Freedom From Fractional sm is the call that private jet flyers around the world have heard and fueled SkyBridge’s explosive growth.

The road to The APP Company success started with numerous successful technology projects. Highlights include the following: In 1996 WebTV was a pioneer of bringing the internet into homes. Mr. Moskowitz planned and executed, for WebTV, the hooking up of nearly every major electronics retailer and department store chain in the United States to the newborn internet via the WebTV Internet Terminal set-top box. At this early stage in the internet’s development, retailers and customers not only had to be educated and persuaded to try the “internet,” but the retailers had to be physically hooked up by running miles of phone cable inside of tens of thousands of retail stores. This was a first for every one of these retailers and helped the country adopt the internet as quickly as it did. Educating retailers and consumers nationwide with new-to-the-world products having become a passion, in 1997, Mr. Moskowitz helped launch Sony MVC-FD5 Digital Mavica camera, known as the first commercially available digital camera. In 1998, Mr. Moskowitz was instrumental in the early adoption of DVR technology, with his pioneering work for Replay TV and Philips Electronics.

In addition, Mr. Moskowitz founded CAMMA, the California Museum of Monumental Art, a non-profit museum dedicated to oversized important works that have trouble finding space for the public to view. Within CAMMA, Mr. Moskowitz founded the development of CAMMA/Kids, a program to teach philanthropy to kids. “It is our goal to create and grow a national hands-on program to interactively teach philanthropy and social responsibility to children of high net-worth individuals.”
