Colton Howard
PR Manager
Journalism to PR is not an uncommon career path, and we’re so glad it’s the path Colton took. Before joining Dittoe PR, Colton served as a sports anchor for WANE-15 in Fort Wayne and as Director of Media for a sports and entertainment company out of Boca Raton, Florida. He uses his TV connections in both local and national markets to secure record amounts of media coverage for clients such as the Penrod Arts Fair, PopCon, the Western Golf Association, Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the BMW Championship. Colton graduated from Ball State with a major in Digital Video Production, minor in Journalistic Storytelling and Cum Laude honors. When Colton’s not at work he’s probably hanging out with his adopted Pitbull/Mastiff mix, Migo.
