JOSÉ LYON — Integrated & Product MarketingNew YorkAvailable for roles and projects

Hola,
I'm José

I take complex, regulated products from positioning to launch, and get product, sales, compliance and creative telling the same story.

I grew up in Caracas and have lived in New York for more than ten years. For seven of them I was the strategic counterpart to Oriental Bank's CMO, working on the brand and more than ten products behind its move from third to second in Puerto Rico. Before that I produced the DIRECTV GO launch across Latin America, built Port de Bras from zero, and ran digital strategy for eight editorial brands. These days I'm freelancing and looking for my next full-time role.

How I work

  • I start with the product and the person using it, and build the campaign from there.
  • Compliance, product and sales are partners from the first brief.
  • I build tools for my own process, including the AI agents I use for research and briefs.
