Ronn D. Torossian (born 1974) is an American public relations executive, founder of New York City-based 5W Public Relations (5WPR), [3] and author. Torossian built his firm's brand through aggressive media tactics, which have, at times, enmeshed him in controversy. [4] [5]

Contents

Torossian has been heavily involved in Israeli right-wing politics and activism.

Early life

Torossian was born in Brooklyn, New York, grew up in The Bronx and attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City. [3] At age 13, at the insistence of his mother, he joined Betar, the international Zionist youth movement associated with Israel's Likud party. [6] While at SUNY Albany, Torossian became national president of the North American branch of Betar. [7] [8] After completing his undergraduate degree, he moved to Israel, where he sought his master's degree, but quit his studies to get involved in political activism. Torossian founded, together with fellow Betar members (and later Israeli politicians) Danny Danon and Yoel Hasson, an organization called Yerushalyim Shelanu (Our Jerusalem), which promoted Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem. [9]

Business career

Torossian began his career in public relations in 1998, working with then New York City Council speaker Peter Vallone, Sr. during Vallone's trip to Israel. He also worked for the Likud Party in Israel. [3] [10] He worked at two firms, including The MWW Group, [3] [11] before launching his own firm, 5W Public Relations, in 2002. [11] The New York Times called him "brash and aggressively outspoken." [3]

Torossian has also written the book For Immediate Release: Shape Minds, Build Brands, and Deliver Results with Game-Changing Public Relations. [12] [13] [14]

Torossian was on Advertising Age 's "40 under 40" list in 2006 [10] and PR Week 's "40 under 40" list in 2007. [15]

In addition to his PR company, Torossian is the Chief Marketing Officer, a Partner, and Advisory Board Member of the jet-sharing company JetSmarter. [16] [17] A spokesperson for the New Israel Fund wrote that Torossian had "teamed up" with Pamela Geller and an article in the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles found evidence that he "[worked] in some capacity with Geller." Torossian denied that there was any professional relationship between the two. [18]

5WPR

Torossian's public relations agency, 5WPR, was ranked in 2014 by The New York Observer as the number 35 PR company in New York City. [19] In 2017, the public relations reporting organization J. R. O'Dwyer Company ranked 5W Public Relations at number 11 among companies which submitted income and employee information to them, with revenues at $24 million. [20]

In 2008, the company was discovered to have posted fraudulent comments to defend Agriprocessors, a kosher food company that was a client. [21]

Reception

Torossian's aggressive PR tactics have won him both praise and criticism. Business Week called him "loud, crass, buzz-obsessed," the "Bad Boy of Buzz," and the self-anointed "brash new face of PR." [22] Atlantic Monthly writer Jeffrey Goldberg called him "the most disreputable flack in New York", particularly criticizing his representation of what Goldberg called the "lunatic fringe" of right-wing Israeli politics. [23] Gawker's Hamilton Nolan wrote that Torossian "embodies the public's worst ideas about what a PR person is: loud, brash, more flash than substance, dirty, manipulative, amoral, and, in the end, not particularly bright." [24] The editor of the Jerusalem Post wrote that Torossian and his colleagues were "nuts." [25]

On the other hand, clients have cited his "unlimited energy" and his unique approach to public relations as reasons for hiring him. [22] Jameel Spencer, former CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment-affiliated Blue Flame Marketing and Advertising, called Torossian "one of my most trusted business counsels." [26] A The Jerusalem Post profile of him cited his "meteoric rise in the business world today". [27] Another client compared Torossian to former basketball player Dennis Rodman, whom "Everyone hated to play against. But if he was on your team, you loved him". [26] A Forward story said, "His aggressive style may not always be pretty, but the results speak for themselves." [7]

Some commentators see Torossian's style as a sign of the times. He is "one of the New Yorkiest practitioners of this quintessentially New York profession... the consummate scrappy publicist," wrote The New York Times. [3] Businessweek wrote, "Torossian has anointed himself the brash new face of PR ... echoes the raw, unvarnished discourse of the blogosphere... Few seem better equipped to navigate a celebrity-obsessed culture." [22]

Political career

Torossian was an active member of Betar for 10 years, and its national president from 1994 to 1996, and continued to fund them afterwards. [6] [28] He says he is guided Ze'ev Jabotinsky's teachings in his financial and personal life. [6] His view of Judaism was shaped by his Betar experience. [6] During his undergraduate days at SUNY Albany, he became an activist and advocate for Jewish people, became the head of Religious Zionists of America/Tagar (the youth wing of Betar), and developed a desire to become the Prime Minister of Israel. [6] He accused the United Jewish Federations of Northeastern New York of financially neglecting SUNY Albany students, but both community and Hillel leaders claimed he was lying. Torossian claimed the personal attacks were because of the community leaders' aversion to his Betar ideology, and that they cared little about the Jewish students. [29]

In 1994, during the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Oslo, Torossian was arrested for protesting together with Avi Weiss against Yasser Arafat being awarded the Peace Prize. [30] [31] And in 1995, as a member of the Coalition for Jewish Concerns-AMCHA, Torossian took part in a protest against Yasser Arafat's visit in front of the John F. Kennedy School of Government where Arafat delivered a speech, and disrupted Arafat's meeting with the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council in New York, saying that he and his fellow demonstrators were there to "peacefully raise a voice of Jewish moral conscience against the biggest mass murderer since World War II". [32]

Later that year, Torossian, as a member of the Coalition for Jewish Concerns-AMCHA, disrupted the rally where Pat Buchanan launched his presidential bid, holding a sign that said, "Buchanan Is a Racist". [33] [34] [ failed verification ] [35] [36] [37] [38] Torossian, a follower of Rabbi Avi Weiss, criticized Howard University president Patrick Swygert for his failure to "clamp down" anti-semitism on campus, and claimed that Swygert had "allowed Jewish students to be intimidated by black students and... taken no action". [39] Torossian claimed he and other Jewish students had been "verbally abused and physically threatened" by black students while staging a counterdemonstration against a black student rally in support of the Million Man March, called by Louis Farrakhan. [40] He called Farrakhan "a racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic hater". [41] Torossian sued the police because they had prevented him from demonstrating at the rally, claiming his First and Fourth Amendment rights had been violated. [42] During a demonstration in front of the Israeli consulate in New York, Torossian condemned and criticized Adam Shapiro, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, and called him a traitor. [43]

Torossian organized a protest in 1997 against Arafat's visit to the United Nations, and affirmed the coalition's support of Har Homa. [44] He participated in a demonstration against Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman in front of a New York courthouse when Abdel-Rahman was being tried for the New York City landmark bomb plot. [45] Later that year, he helped three families, consisting of 15 people, move into a house in Arab East Jerusalem. [46] [ failed verification ] [47] [48] [49] His organization hired private bulldozers to help quicken the pace of construction in Har Homa. [50] He and his organization began making news for protesting whenever they perceived injustice against Jewish people. [6]

As a Likud activist, Torossian, along with Rabbi Avi Weiss and New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind submitted a petition in 1998 to Israel's High Court of Justice demanding the arrest and prosecution of Abu Abbas for his role in the Achille Lauro hijacking by PLO in 1985, and the murder of Leon Klinghoffer. [51] The state refused to try Abbas because the Knesset had passed a law that prohibited prosecution of crimes committed before the Oslo Accord of 1993. [52] The court ruled in favor of the state. [53]

As part of the right-wing civil rights organization Tzedek-Tzedek, Torossian helped that same year with coordinating lawsuits against Avishai Raviv to "pursue the legality of the Oslo Accords, to see whether it is legal for Palestinian murderers to be running around, not under trial and not under indictment." [54] He submitted a petition to the High Court demanding that Raviv be tried for perjury for his statements during the trial of Yigal Amir, who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin. [55]

In 1999, Torossian criticized Benjamin Netanyahu's decisions, which included stopping construction at Har Homa and withdrawal of Israeli troops from parts of Hebron. [56] As director of Americans for Israel's Survival, Torossian helped to organize a rally outside the French tourist office in New York in 2002, protesting against the French government's apathy towards anti-Semitic attacks. The rally called for a boycott of French goods and travel to France, aimed at harming France's economy. [57] [58]

Torossian publishes opinion pieces in the New York Post , The New York Observer and The Jewish Press . In March 2015 he criticized the New Israel Fund in conjunction with a campaign by Pamela Geller over the NIF's stance on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. [59]

Torossian is a supporter of Donald Trump. [2]

Personal life

Torossian is of Armenian descent [60] and has two children with ex-wife Zhanna.[ citation needed ] He lives in Manhattan. [61]
