Added WATKINS, “I am honored and humbled to become a part of the sales leadership team with COX MEDIA GROUP/ATLANTA RADIO. I’m convinced that there’s no better collection of marketers in AMERICA than the Media Consultants with whom we work. I’ve been fortunate to form a number of rewarding relationships over the 20 years that I’ve been a part of the COX family, and I’m excited to be placed in a role that allows me to help even more clients and businesses throughout the market. I’m blessed to have this opportunity.”
