About Roger Keys

Simply put, Roger is a media/marketing enthusiast.In his last assignment, Roger was a key component of the advertising sales charge for Walt Disney ABC's WLS Radio in Chicago. WLS had enjoyed more than a +300% increase in revenue growth during Roger's tenure there. During his (20) years working on the media side, Roger had noticed that if a brand wasn't properly represented with a media expert helping them with their media planning and buying, then that company was at an inherent disadvantage. Thus, Marketing Keys was born in July, 2007 to more than level the negotiation playing field between advertisers and media companies. β–Ά π—ͺ𝗛𝗬 π—¨π—¦π—˜ 𝗨𝗦:β€’ Over 15 years of strategically placing brand building, brand awareness and direct response campaigns.β€’ Our secret sauce for getting your media campaigns seen, heard, opened, read, clicked and acted upon.β€’ Our relationships in the media world extend to Presidents/CEOs, General Managers.

American Lung Association, the Chicago Wolves, Lincoln Park Zoo, Hooters and many more. Why would these brands partner up with a boutique, small shop in Chicago rather than an Ad Agency behemoth? They discovered that bigger is not necessarily better. These brands came to us because they know they are going to get great, personal service from the top and they will get some great work. It's going to get done fast, on schedule, within budget and the work will catch the attention of their customers. β–Ά π—ͺ𝗛𝗔𝗧 π—–π—Ÿπ—œπ—˜π—‘π—§π—¦ 𝗦𝗔𝗬:"Roger's strategic approach and true dedication to our business has led to success in our media buys.

  • Wvaz Radio
    Account Executive
    Wvaz Radio May 1993 - Mar 1995
    At WVAZ, Roger developed such creative proposals that he was looked at as a little off-kilter by his bosses. And the management at WVAZ loved that. He specialized in creating programs for advertisers interested in reaching the African American consumer. He wasn't given a big agency list. He had to dig for business on his own. His focus and specialty at VAZ was in maintaining, prospecting and developing direct new business dollars to build advertising revenues for the station through non-traditional methods. He generated sales in new, unchartered revenue streams for the station.
  • Chicago Sports Profiles/L.A. Sports Profiles
    Sports Marketing Specialist
    Chicago Sports Profiles/L.A. Sports Profiles May 1991 - Apr 1993
    Anyone heard of Chicago Sports Profiles or L.A. Sports Profiles magazines? No? Yeh, I thought so. That is what made selling advertising in these publications so fun and oh so challenging. At Sports Profiles, Roger created Sports Marketing opportunites for Chicagoland and L.A. area businesses through partnerships with the local sports teams. He did so well there that one year his boss gave him a free Cruise for 2 to the Caribbean. It was a lasting memory. He ended up having blisters on his forehead from the sun. Roger was a category specialist specifically for QSR (Quick Service Restaurants) and Automotive Aftermarket. The Sports Marketing programs may have included Sweepstakes and Value with Purchase programs that were advertised in the (2) Sports Publications along with schedules on local radio stations.
  • Wovv Radio
    Account Executive
    Wovv Radio May 1988 - Dec 1990
    Who wouldn't want to work for the hottest Top 40 station that covered a huge area of South Florida while he/she was in their early to mid 20s?! Outside of running my own business, it may stand as the most fun I have had professionally. Our on-air personalities hosted talent contests for the area nightclubs. Oh - and did I mention that I got to judge many of these contests? Roger worked for a CHR station that served both the Fort Pierce and Palm Beach County Florida radio markets. At WOVV, Roger had specialized in putting together advertising programs for the Adult 18-34 year old market. During the late '80s, Palm Beach County was rapidly growing and businesses were opening up left and right. Yes, these businesses included many new nightclubs and car dealerships. Roger was instrumental in securing the greatest amount of new business for the station and in 1990 left the station as the top producing Account Executive. It was a period in his life that he will never forget.
