The PR Week: 4.3.2025 - AJ Jones II, Monumental Sports & Entertainment

AJ Jones II is back full-time in Washington, DC, with a new job leading communications for Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the owner of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, the NHL’s Washington Capitals, the WNBA’s Washington Mystics and other sports brands.

Jones talks about making the transition to the sports world from Starbucks, where he was EVP and chief corporate affairs officer and previously EVP and chief communications and public affairs officer.

There’s no shortage of other news coming out of Washington, DC, including Wednesday’s major tariff announcements and significant job cuts across communications teams in the Department of Health and Human Services.

Jones also offers his two cents on the biggest marketing and communications news of the week, including April Fools’ Day campaigns and major people moves at Andreessen Horowitz and Roche Diagnostics.
