Radio on Main Street Podcast Featuring RAB’s Erica Farber and MKHSTRY’s Jeff Charney in His FIRST Podcast Ever

Radio on Main Street was on site for four days at the ANA Masters of Marketing Conference where creative thinking and innovative strategies that inspire change and drive growth were shared by some of the world’s top CMOs and leading brands.

Over the next several weeks, we invite you to tune in to a special edition Radio on Main Street podcast series as Erica Farber, President and CEO of the RAB, speaks with “Masters of Marketing” and dives into their marketing goals, the issues they’re most focused on and of course, their thoughts about radio. 

Though the conference took place in October, we consciously held back until after the winter holidays and the hoopla of the Super Bowl subsided to give you the chance to soak in the substance of the conversations.  

Speaking of disruptive substance… this inaugural episode kicks off with the always provocative and brilliant Jeff Charney, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of MKHSTRY, an invite-only nationwide marketing collective that drives historic business transformation. As you might know, Jeff was the former CMO of Progressive Insurance and Aflac and started MKHSTRY in April of 2022.  A believer in the scarcity model, this is Jeff’s FIRST and ONLY podcast (up to this point) so listen up, because it might not happen again for a while.
