About Artis Twyman

Artis Twyman is in his seventh year as Vice President of Communications for the Los Angeles Rams. In this position, Twyman oversees the media relations staff and directs the Rams’ communication efforts.

 

The 2026 season will be Twyman’s 24th season with the Rams. He previously served nine seasons as senior director of communications and three seasons as the team’s director of media relations after spending six years as assistant director of football media.

 

Following the 2018 season, Twyman and the Rams communications department won the Pro Football Writers Association’s Pete Rozelle Award, which recognizes the NFL public relations staff that consistently strives for

excellence in its dealings and relationships with the media. It marked the first time the Rams won the award since 1997 and only the second time in franchise history.

 

Prior to joining the Rams in 2003, Twyman spent two years as a public relations assistant for the Seattle Seahawks. He broke into the NFL in 2001 as a public relations intern for the expansion Houston Texans. From 1995-2001, he worked for the Tennessee State University Public Relations

Department, serving in many capacities, including three years as public information officer.

 

In 2012, he was one of only two public relations officials throughout the 32-team league chosen to work for the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii. He also received this honor in 2011, 2009, 2008 and 2006. Twyman was part of public relations staff for NFC Championship games, as well as several

Super Bowls.

 

In 2021, he served as the chair of the Dean’s Advisory Council at California Lutheran University.
