Responsible for Marketing Strategy, Product Innovation, Promotions and Public Relations for WTMJ-AM and WKTI-FM. Charged with creating impact programs that increase ratings, engagement and revenue for both stations and their online properties. Radio, TV, Outdoor and Social Media Marketing are all used to maximize the reach of our brands. Daily duties include the supervision of the promotions department and street team. Some accomplishments - Collaborated to create and launch WKTI - 94.5 KTI COUNTRY. Through market research, we made a data-driven decision to change the format on 94.5 FM from Adult Hits to Country. Working with a very small team we launched the new station to wide market acceptance. The new brand captured the market opportunity for a vibrant, younger and more locally engaged station. Piloted local innovation group: After IDEO/HCD training in brainstorming and problem solving, I piloted the “Scripps Solutions Group” to address big problems and opportunities locally and across the Scripps Radio Group. The project is focused on growing revenue or rejuvenating major on-air programs. Expanded WTMJ-AM’s digital reach. WTMJ-AM is Wisconsin’s Radio Station providing unmatched, 24-hour live and local news, weather and traffic coverage. To keep WTMJ-AM available on as many platforms as possible, I helped to put WTMJ-AM’s hourly newscasts on the Amazon Echo platform. In addition, WTMJ-AM’s podcasting reach has been crucial to connect with today’s on-the-go listeners. The “WTMJ Mobile” podcast network allows WTMJ-AM listeners to get their favorite shows on demand.

Responsible for brand marketing, project management, social media and ideation for client programs. In this role, I executed the day-to-day marketing as well as innovating across the radio group. Some accomplishments include - Created the “Radio League” radio streaming app: The company was spending thousands of dollars per month for each individual station to operate its own app. In collaboration with an outside vendor, I created the “Radio League” app that gave our stations a unified but geo-targeted streaming platform. The app allowed each station’s user to customize a local listening experience. The app improved the engagement and drastically drove down costs. Created and led installation of the “Right Wisconsin” political website: On-Air host Charlie Sykes needed a digital home to connect with his conservative audience. I wrote the original business plan for the site and helped the digital team get the site on-air and online. I also executed an annual black-tie awards gala honoring conservative female politicians. The annual event featured the Governor, Senators and Representatives from Washington D.C. and Madison. Revitalized a major annual sales promotion: WTMJ-AM had performed the “Free Ride” car giveaway for years. By its 4th year, the promotion had shrunk in revenue and impact. I built a partnership with a local classic car restoration company and rebranded the promotion the “Classic Free Ride.” The promotion began with a fully restored 1969 Camaro and has since given away a classic Mustang, Corvette and an Oldsmobile 442. The rebranded promotion increased brand awareness, sales revenue and listener engagement. Created and Launched new High School Sports streaming product. WTMJ-AM is the flagship of the Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Bucks. To reinforce our local sports commitment I created the “Preps Live” streaming project. “Preps Live” is free, live broadcast stream from the biggest local High School games.

Responsible for brand management for a new radio station in Milwaukee. My role was to grow the station through strategic planning, on-air execution, staff management, sales strategy and user engagement. Some accomplishments include - Created “Now Playing” digital outdoor billboards: The station created “Now Playing” digital billboards that allowed drivers to know what artist was playing on-air at that moment. Listeners knew instantly that one of their favorites was playing. The innovative marketing increased station listenership. Performed on-air morning radio show: Performed the daily 6am-10am radio program to inform and entertain the station’s target audience. Through daily on-air preparation and practice, I have refined my ability to speak confidently and persuasively in public and to senior leaders. Presenting in a conference room to a conference hall is a strength.Created annual listener engagement event: The annual “Shareholder’s Meeting” allowed the station’s super fans to gather and talk about the station and it’s mission. The event was unique to commercial radio in Milwaukee. The ownership felt by the listeners increased ratings and brand affiliation.

Creating new Christmas Music promotion for the station: The listeners of the adult female targeted radio station demanded Christmas music in November and December. I created “Star 104.5 - The Christmas Station” to increase ratings and revenue. In addition to on-air programming, the station began streaming Christmas music in early October to create brand affiliation for the on-air programming that began in early November. Ratings spiked during the promotion and the Vice President of the radio group commented that the station was the “best sounding Christmas Station he had ever heard.”Grew annual community service program to help families - Star 104.5’s “Adopt a Family” program with the Salvation Army grew to record levels in conjunction with the Christmas music playing on-air. Thousands of Star 104.5 listeners brought gifts and food to families in need during this unique one-to-one partnership. Performed on-air in a prime daypart - Using my performance skills, I performed on-air in Afternoon Drive. My show was the highest rated daypart on the station driving important revenue for the company.

Served as the Operations Manager over a five station cluster in Lincoln, Nebraska. Responsible for managing multiple radio brands, a large staff and personally delivering results on KBBK/B 107.3. During this developmental time of my career I learned to manage staff, juggle competing priorities and delegate important tasks all while delivering results from my main area of responsibility. Some accomplishments include - Launched new radio station brand: Collaborated and led the installment of KBBK/B 107.3. The Hot Adult Contemporary station became a market leader and it is still leading the market in it's target demographic. Identified, hired and trained a future star: Hired Gina Sherwood-Klein, a well-known local business person with an eye on her quick wit and charming presence. Through coaching, on-air partnership and her hard work she has become one of the top radio stars in Lincoln. The “Gina and Jay” morning show was one of the most fun times of my career. Innovated on-air sports play by play for Women’s Volleyball: As a part of the cluster’s affiliation deal with the University of Nebraska the station needed to air Women’s Volleyball games. Instead of just clearing the games, the female targeted station embraced the players, coach and their fans. The station became "Where the Women Come to Play” and we covered the team like the football team. The Volleyball programming fit with the station's image and music. It was thrilling to hear the station capture the NCAA National Championship live on B 107.3.
