Wildman Upped At Westwood One

Westwood One has promoted Mark Wildman from SVP, Strategic Partnerships to the far more prestigious position of EVP, Strategic Partnerships. In this newly expanded role, Wildman will lead the company’s rapidly evolving new business development initiatives for both the network and spot sales. Wildman is based in New York City and reports directly to Steve Shaw, President of Westwood One Sales. Shaw commented, “In just a few short months, Mark has proven his commitment and his value as a motivating sales leader and creative problem solver. He brings a unique vision, skill set, and a tremendous depth of experience to our senior agency and client partners. I’m excited to have him spearhead our strategic alliances.”

Wildman joined Westwood One as last October from William Morris, where he was responsible for selling media, sponsorship, and content programs to clients. Prior to William Morris, Wildman held executive sales positions at Three Lions Entertainment, Bonnier Corporation, Readers Digest and Condé Nast. “I appreciate the confidence that Steve has in my abilities,” said Wildman. “I look forward to continue scaling our insight-driven solutions and our impact with clients with our industry leading sports, music, and news programming and our best-in-class consumer experiences. Westwood One is an iconic, innovative company with a client-first approach. We are driving demand for brands by putting their consumer narratives at the center of pop culture conversations.”
