In today's hyper-fragmented media ecosystem, original content and clear brands are key.Standardized news headlines and formula chit-chat are everywhere. It takes something special to cut through, find a following, attract revenue, and build a brand with legs.You start by finding quirky personalities. People with curiosity, and unconventional ways to see the world. Talent is the DNA, the building-blocks for content that wins.Then the work (and the fun) begins. People, patience, perseverance...and leaders with courage.What I do best is build media brands that have meaning and stand out. I find talent, cast vision, and lead teams to do the trench work of creating original content and making a difference in the community. Radio, TV, websites, podcasting - I've done them all, and the same principles apply.My teams have launched all-new shows, stations, sites, and brands; and we've rehabbed some faded media greats. We've built companies and developed values-based culture . We've grown ratings and traffic, driven revenue, expanded market share, improved margins, and delivered plenty of profit. Lots of success stories, and some great failures too.But what gets me out of bed in the morning is that feeling you get when you know you've got a winner. When you're connecting with an audience and there is buzz, and everyone wants a piece of what your team is doing. There's nothing like it.I love being around people who get that. If you're one of those people, let's connect.Specialties: Media executive; broadcast media; digital media; leadership; strategy; content development; talent management; radio; television; technology; operations; news; sports; partner relationships.
