SHOCKER!!! After twenty years with ALL ACCESS, Hot AC Editor MARK STRICKLAND will be leaving the company to launch a new venture called LISTEN TO MUSIC, INC.
MARK STRICKLAND commented, "Today there is a brave new world of emerging technologies at our fingertips. The focus of LISTEN TO MUSIC, INC. will be to assist creators and their teams in all fields of the entertainment industry to navigate their path to success and increase their revenue under this new paradigm. I am looking forward to working with artists in all aspects of the creative process from management, artist development, songwriting, recording, radio, digital, marketing, sync and distribution.
"I would like to thank ALL ACCESS Pres./Publisher JOEL DENVER for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible company from our very early days as a start-up. It's hard to believe it has been nearly 21 years since I began this journey as part of a small staff working out of a spare bedroom in JOEL's house covering just two radio formats. I have such a respect for the effort our team puts forth every day to go the extra mile and make www.allaccess.com the leader in the industry. It makes me incredibly proud to see what an amazing service ALL ACCESS has become.
"I look forward to keeping in touch with all my radio and music friends I have met along the way. Thank you for some great times and please keep in touch with me on FACEBOOK, or you can email me here. Launching my own venture won't be easy so I will be doing some consulting as we grow. I have a passion for writing so you'll still see some occasional features from me on the ALL ACCESS pages as well. I can't wait to share the details about LISTEN TO MUSIC, INC! Look for an announcement coming soon."
ALL ACCESS President/Publisher JOEL DENVER added, "Having had MARK as part of our team, running the HOT AC section of ALLACCESS.COM, has been nothing but a real pleasure. MARK's dedication to ALL ACCESS, radio, the music and artists is something to be admired. He's always given 200% and I know that he will apply that same amazing work ethic, creativity, and tenacity to his new business venture, LISTEN TO MUSIC, INC.
"MARK will be missed by all, and I speak for everyone on staff in wishing MARK nothing but the very best and all of the success in the world. He will always be part of our ALL ACCESS family.
"For now, the HOT AC department will be co-managed by DAVE HOEFFEL, ED BROWN and myself as we assess the needs of the format from radio and our music clients, so that we can eventually hire the right person to run it sometime in 2018. Anyone seriously interested in this post, as a future long-term opportunity, should send a letter of interest along with a resume with references included to me at jdenver@allaccess.com."
