Veteran publicist Bill Harrison and Emmy-winning costume designer, celebrity stylist and creative director Johnny Wujek have joined the staff of arts nonprofit The Art of Elysium.
Harrison joins as chief marketing officer. He will oversee the organization’s marketing and communications strategy, brand positioning, corporate and cultural partnerships, audience development and major organizational initiatives. He will also help shape long-term strategy to increase awareness of its programming while expanding its capacity and geographic footprint as it heads into its 30th year of operation.
Harrison brings more than two decades of experience in strategic communications, brand building and reputation management. He joins from Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lysis, where he was a senior vice president leading client work across Disney Consumer Products, Amazon Music and the National Hispanic Media Coalition, among others. Before that, he ran his own agency, Third Street Media Group, and was CEO of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations.
Wujek has been named vice president of the new creative services and talent relations division. He will help shape the organization’s creative expression across events, programs, content and cultural initiatives, while deepening relationships with artists and talent across fashion, music, film and the broader creative community.
Harrison said, “I’m excited to build on the incredible foundation as it enters its next chapter.” Wujek said the organization “has always been about bringing creative people together.”
Art of Elysium founder Jennifer Howell said, “Bill and Johnny bring two very different but incredibly complementary strengths to The Art of Elysium.”
