Was the Local Sales Manager for CBS owned WBZ Radio in Boston where I increased new business revenue by 40% each year.For eight years was equity partner in RDR Promotions, a radio only promotions company that set up on-air campaigns with radio stations across the country. I’ve set up national on-air promotions and advertising campaigns for Disney ABC Domestic Television, Food Network, Midas Repair Shops, CBS Television Distribution, Carsquare.com and many other companies looking to generate users or build brand awareness for products. Was the lead on setting up Priceline.com into radio promotions and television product integration and was part of the launch of that incredible brand. RDR Promotions was a ‘direct response’ based company that was measured on results and response to either toll free numbers, increased web traffic or increase in audience levels for television shows.
