Cumulus Media has announced that it has promoted Cassidy Manetta to Promotions Manager for the company’s five radio stations in Des Moines, IA. Manetta joins Cumulus Des Moines from Cumulus Topeka, where she has served as Promotions Director since 2017.

Manetta was previously Digital Media Director and Marketing Director for Julie Manetta Insurance Agency, Inc. in Washington, MI. She was also Promotions Coordinator for 97.1 The Ticket/WXYT-FM in Southfield, MI. Manetta holds a B.A. Degree in Media and Information from Michigan State University and an M.S. Degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from Eastern Michigan University.

Jack Taddeo, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Des Moines, said: “Cassidy impressed me with her creativity, experience and enthusiasm for all the things radio needs to be doing in an increasingly competitive world. My thanks to Topeka VP/Market Manager Nic Merenda for graciously supporting this internal promotion to the benefit of Cumulus Des Moines.”

“We knew from the first interview that she was destined for great things!” said Cumulus Topeka Vice President/Market Manager Nic Merenda.  “Cassidy is a unique combination of current day social media and marketing savvy, old school work ethic, and a passion for radio!  I am so glad that she can continue her career and contributions within the Cumulus Media family.”

Manetta said: “I have really grown to like Cumulus as a company, its values and the culture created here, so I was excited to hear about the opening in Des Moines. As much as I will be sad to leave Topeka, it was always a goal of mine to take the next step in my career after completing my Master’s Degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. I can’t wait to bring the knowledge I have gained here in Topeka to the Des Moines market, as well as absorb as much information as they have to offer in this next position.”
