Welcome to Universal Promotion International LLC (UPI)

 

Meet Jon Johnson​

​

I founded UPI in 1997 in South Florida. UPI was established with a mission to promote products and services both domestically and internationally. With over 40 years of experience, I've deliver tailored solutions for individuals and businesses across various industries, including:

​

My entrepreneurial journey began in Washington, D.C. in 1975, where I launched a management company specializing in personalized contribution letters for high-dollar contributors for political campaigns and nonprofit organizations. I was the first to deploy daisy wheel printers in production mode, pioneering personalized donor outreach at scale.  My client list included Ronald Reagan, Jerry Ford, and the Republican National Committee.

 

In 1982, I opened my first computer store in Louisville, KY, earning certifications from IBM, Microsoft, Novell, and AutoCAD. After five successful years, I sold the Louisville stores in 1987 and relocated the business to the Caribbean, where I served as the Novell authorized reseller for the region and the Microsoft representative for the Northern Caribbean until 1998. This chapter deepened my expertise in international tech distribution and enterprise solutions.

 

Since then, I’ve:

 

• Funded startups and scaled new ventures

• Started a successful merchant processing service for domestic and international internet merchants

• Designed benefit platforms and outreach campaigns

• Helped organizations solve problems and grow with purpose

• Ventured into the Crypto/Digital world

• In the process of launching a Social Gaming Platform that will disrupt the industry

 

Whether you're launching something new or refining what you’ve built, I offer hands-on insight, strategic guidance, and a deep commitment to your success.
