Jay Winuk

Jay Winuk (COM’82) of Carmel, N.Y., is president of Winuk Communications, a public relations agency that won four prestigious Bulldog PR Awards for an awareness campaign in pursuit of accountability and restorative justice for the September 11 attacks. The campaign garnered Winuk Communications—and its client, the nonprofit 9/11 Justice—a grand prize for Best Campaign of 2022, gold awards in the Best Issue/Cause Advocacy Campaign and Best Not-for-Profit/Association Campaign categories, and a silver award in the Best Media Relations Campaign category. Winuk and families partnered with 9/11 Justice and held several press conferences on behalf of their campaign, which sought to bring public attention to the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series. “Saudi Arabia seemingly has unlimited funds to activate and promote its sportswashing tactics in the US and around the world, and that presented challenges for our client, which is a small nonprofit of well-intentioned people seeking justice,” writes Jay, whose family was also affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
