Under The Radar
A Radio Company That's Actually Growing
A message from Eric Rhoads, Publisher of Radio Ink
Flying under the radio radar is a company you don't read about in the daily press. Unlike most within our challenged industry, this company is experiencing monumental double-digit growth. And, unlike most who continue to cut expenses, they have added employees at an increase of about 15 percent a year for the past three years. In fact, employees vote this company annually as the best place to work, which may be a clue as to why it's growing in the midst of a deep recession.Another clue behind the growth is that this company has developed an integrated platform that has resulted in significant growth in digital off-air revenues. The philosophy of using much of its ad time to drive sales of company-generated products -- requiring less reliance on spot revenue -- has played a major role in its growth.
This company's founder believes it all boils down to leadership, and we've asked him to share his leadership philosophies with the radio industry at Radio Ink's Forecast, as we welcome radio network entrepreneur Dave Ramsey.
You'll see Dave Ramsey from a new viewpoint. Not the man who has helped millions of consumers break their reliance on credit, not the man who has sold millions of books to help consumers beat their debt, but the man whose leadership skills are guiding entrepreneurs around America to stellar growth.
In conjunction with the launch of his new and soon-to-be bestselling book, Dave Ramsey will give his observations on how he has managed to grow his company in spite of the recession and without advertising dollars alone. He will share his observations about the radio industry and how we can pattern the leadership skills of great entrepreneurs to turn employees into raving fans who will fight to win every dollar and every rating point.
