Country Radio Specialists Albright & O’Malley & Brenner have added a new session on how sales and programming can create successful brand integration into station events and programs. A panel of branding experts will cover everything from inception to execution to help attendees develop win-wins for programming and sales.

This panel of experts features CMA VP of Strategic Initiatives Emily Evans, Owner and President of REACH Lindsay Bertelli, and Wasserman Music VP of Branding Chappel McCollister.
