Pull the Ripcord!

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Four years ago I had an opportunity, one that led to one of the most difficult decisions ever…and no, it wasn’t whether or not I should cut my hair!  After working one of the most stressful agency jobs in my career, I made the decision to go out on my own.  I pulled the ripcord…dove into the pool from the high dive board…and jumped off the cliff.  It was 1,460 days ago that I opened Cohan Communications Group!

During these four years I’ve had some of the best, creative times I’ve ever had in my career. I’ve also experienced some of the most challenging.  It’s no secret that the economy tanked during this time. Being flexible has kept this agency in business. Working with clients who do great work and that I truly, really like is something I cherish.

So, Happy Anniversary Cohan Communications Group!  To the clients, interns, contractors, and staff members that have walked through these doors virtual or otherwise, we wouldn’t be here without you!

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Bye Bye Radio and Records

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Today saw another sad milestone in the publishing business.  After 36 years, Radio and Records (R&R) has closed its doors ceasing publication of its print an online editions.  It’s hard to imagine the radio and music business without R&R.  When I first started out in marketing, R&R was one of the first publications I worked with on a regular basis.  Whether I was pitching a story, placing an ad for the Delilah or Lia shows, booking reservations for the R&R convention, or connecting with old friends and colleagues, R&R was a mainstay in my work life.  Even after left the music business I still regularly read R&R online.  It’s hard to imagine that R&R is gone.

RIP R&R, you will be missed!
