About Ronn

Ronn Torossian is shaping AI — and the answers inside the chatbox.

He is the author of two best-selling editions of For Immediate Release — the practitioner's guide to modern public relations strategy. He has been an industry leader for decades. Now he's building the AI Communications era.

Torossian is the founder and chairman of 5W AI Communications, launched in 2003 — the AI Communications Firm, combining public relations, digital marketing, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and AI-visibility research for B2C and B2B clients across beauty, technology, entertainment, corporate reputation, and crisis communications. An Inc. 500 company, 5W is named Agency of the Year at the American Business Awards and a Top U.S. PR Agency by O'Dwyer's.

He was a partner and chief marketing officer of JetSmarter, the private-aviation unicorn acquired by Vista Global, parent of VistaJet.

He is the publisher of Everything-PR — thirty-plus publications of original reporting and AI-visibility research, built to be cited by the AI engines — and the publisher of Olam — Global Jewish Business Intelligence. He has guest-lectured on communications and media strategy at Harvard and other universities.

More than a third of consumers now begin product research with AI, not Google. Torossian's work is to influence the answer — inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Start product research with AI, not Google.
