A career in radio—both behind the mic and behind the scenes—has enabled me to develop a depth of talent across all aspects of business operations. I have long been the "million dollar idea guy": someone who sees a need and develops the solution to meet it. I have successfully launched more than a dozen radio stations and transformed those that were underperforming through strategic approaches that included, primarily, starting with our targeted market at the center and building out of that. I firmly believe that our customers / listeners are our #1 priority, and I always keep them top of mind in everything that I do.Generating revenue comes second nature to me, whether through consultative sales with clients to develop strong marketing and advertising campaigns or supporting the community as a fundraiser, event manager, and emcee. Even during COVID-19 closures, when radio listenership drastically decreased, I was able to continue to generate money for stations and charity partners. This is due, in part, to my dedication and tenacity; I advocate for my clients and partners, and I don’t give up until we see returns.SOMETHING PERSONALI am a two-time author and creator of the #Tryharder philosophy, a way of thinking that encourages people to stop, take a moment, and make the right choice. One of my books was an Amazon best seller. I’ve also visited two of Taylor Swift’s homes, in New York and Nashville.GET IN TOUCHPlease send me a connect request or reach me directly at chasemradio@yahoo.com.
