Also featured:

Paula Beadle
“Navigating the Future Landscape of Sponsorship”:  NTR is a hot phrase, but how do you generate it?  Paula Beadle, CEO of Caravel, a national consulting company specializing in sponsorship and partnership marketing, will share her insights regarding how radio can better monetize its assets through successful partnerships with sponsors.    According to Beadle, "In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sponsorship industry will have a dramatic transformation… a transformation that will happen at an accelerated pace."

Paula is a strategic and enthusiastic trailblazer with decades of marketing and sales experience in sponsorship, media, sports, events and entertainment. She is also the founder of Sponsorship Mastery – an annual summit and webinar series dedicated to improving individual and organizational sponsorship performance.

The A&O&B team will also present the first highlights from their 16th annual online perceptual study, “Roadmap 2021”.  This is the largest study of Country P1's in the U.S. and Canada; with over 10,000 respondents.  Attendees will discover how the pandemic has affected trends in music tastes, radio usage, digital consumption, social networking and more.  

This fast paced three hour seminar will also include:

Brendan Kane
"Hook Point: How To Stand Out In A 3 Second World":  International Best selling author Brendan Kane is an outside of the box thinker, speaker and author who empowers brands to scale by helping them stand out and beat the competition in crowded and over-saturated markets. He is the author of the international best seller One Million Followers and the newly released Hook Point: How To Stand Out In A 3 Second World, as well as the founder and CEO of the Hook Point agency, providing business and digital strategies for brands like MTV, Taylor Swift, Rhianna and many others.

Partner Mike O'Malley points out, “It’s always exciting to present our pre-CRS Seminar. Each year attendees leave armed with new ideas and inspiration. To be honest, we do too. As always, the event is about making great radio that connects with listeners and creates an unbeatable platform for station advertisers.”

Brenner adds, “It is heartbreaking that we cannot be in person at Country Radio Seminar this year.  This will be the next best thing. The same valuable and actionable information in a virtual setting.  Plus, no airfare or hotel; you can do it from the comfort of any space!"

The A&O&B Pre-CRS Seminar is free to all A&O&B clients, as well as any broadcasters in non-competitive situations. You can Register here for this virtual experience today
