The poll was conducted through a nomination process, with input from Programme Directors throughout the radio industry.

Thank you so much to all of our clients for the support through votes, recommendations and testimonials.  We really feel very honoured and very grateful.

Here’s what Editor Ed Ryan told us:  ”You have been chosen by your peers … as one of the most successful and admired consultants in our industry.”  Wow!  He also asked us a question and we thought you might be interested in our answer:

What advice can you give others who want to be Program Directors?

Get really interested in people.  Figure out what makes them tick and how to influence their thinking.  Include your listeners, co-workers, sales team, boss and your competitors.

Develop your emotional intelligence, your communications skills, and your ability to get along with all kinds of people – even when you disagree with everything they say.

Hang out with smart people.  It’ll rub off.  Learn to love research but don’t ever be a slave to it.  Make lots of mistakes, and learn from them.

Thank you once again to all our clients and, of course, to Radio Ink for the support.  We will continue to do everything we can to live up to the title of ‘one of radio’s top consultants’!

P.S. Thanks also due to Radio Today – the best radio website in the UK –  for their support in reporting our exciting news.
