AI Training, Built by a Communications Insider

Jason Erkes has spent 30 years inside the rooms where communications gets done under pressure — breaking newsrooms, campaign war rooms, crisis command centers, and corporate boardrooms. He's an Emmy Award-winning journalist, a Reed Award-winning political strategist, a Crain's Chicago Business 40 Under 40 honoree, and a former Chief Communications Officer on the leadership team of an Inc. Best-Led Company. He has conducted hundreds of media interviews with outlets from CNN to The New York Times.

He is also a weekly AI contributor on WGN TV — and the founder of PromptedComms.

PromptedComms exists because of a gap Jason couldn't stop thinking about. PR firms were being told AI was going to change everything, but the training available came from technologists who had never written a pitch, managed a crisis, or earned a client's trust. The tools were there. The translation wasn't.

Jason built PromptedComms to close that gap. Every framework, prompt, and tool in the PromptedComms curriculum is designed around how PR actually works — the client lifecycle, the pitch process, the media relationship, the reporting problem. Not how AI works in a demo.

If you run or lead a PR firm, you don't need someone to explain what AI is. You need someone who understands your business well enough to show you exactly where it fits — and how to make it stick across your team.

That's what Jason does.

What makes PromptedComms different: The training is built by a practitioner, not a technologist. The tools are designed for communications workflows, not generic business use. And the goal isn't dependency — it's fluency. Jason's measure of success is a team that no longer needs him.
