chief media officer

chief media officer

As director of Roth Radio’s media operations, Mark is considered a brilliant planner, an insightful buyer, and a tenacious negotiator. He’s also well known for his passion in servicing clients. His love for Radio media includes treating it as a contact sport. In fact, his style of squeezing every media dollar to improve a buy has earned him both an incomparable track record, as well as a nickname we best not say here.

Mark’s expertise includes creating and executing innovative “added value” and branded content radio programming.

Mark is frequently sought out by newspaper and magazine editors, business reporters, and Wall Street media analysts for his insights on the advertising and radio media business. He serves on the American Association of Advertising Agencies, Radio Committee, and the Radio Advertising Bureau’s (RAB) National Media Council. He is also a contributing editor to the RAB’s Radio Sales Today publication.

Mark is a graduate of Columbia University, and the only non-lawyer in his family. His planning skills extend to a wife and two kids, and a weekly basketball game that’s still going after 15 years.
