Comcast names new top lobbyist for SWFL market

Justin Damiano has been named director of community affairs for broadcasting and cable giant Comcast in the Southwest Florida market.

Damiano is responsible for network expansions, franchising, digital equity programs, right-of-way matters and community outreach across a nine-county area, according to a statement.

The position is a bit of homecoming for Damiano, as he previously spent six years as Comcast’s government affairs manager in Southwest Florida, the release adds. After that he was senior external affairs manager for Comcast’s Big South Region in Atlanta, where he supported the company’s network expansions across six states. Comcast is based in Philadelphia.
