Aten Morin Jr. is a Phoenix-based storyteller and communications strategist with a knack for turning big ideas into moments people actually pay attention to. His work lives at the intersection of culture, politics, and digital storytelling, where timing matters, tone is everything, and clarity wins.

He currently leads marketing and communications at Just Schools, shaping messaging that centers LGBTQ+ students and educators while keeping the focus on inclusive, safe schools. Before that, Aten ran digital and communications strategy at Stand for Children Arizona, breaking down education policy into campaigns that felt human, accessible, and worth stopping the scroll for.

Earlier in his career, Aten cut his teeth in agency life at O.H. Partners, supporting PR and brand work for high-profile clients across hospitality, lifestyle, and consumer spaces. He’s also supported national political communications, including influencer outreach connected to Kamala Harris’s campaign, helping bridge the gap between politics and the online communities that drive culture.

Multicultural and multiracial, Aten moves comfortably between Millennial and Gen Z worlds, with a soft spot for sharp storytelling and work that actually makes people feel something. When he’s not working, he’s tracking trends, hyping local events, debating pop culture, or heading out on an Arizona drive just to see where the road takes him.
