Like many in our industry, Reese got his start on the radio side and worked in Miami, Orlando, and Charlotte.
“We are thrilled to welcome back Dennis to the company,” said Lindsey. “His experience at both the Country and Pop formats, excellent leadership skills and dedication to the artists he’s worked is unmatched and we are fortunate enough to have him this time at the helm of our promotion team. SMN remains committed to promoting our artists at radio, and we know Dennis will continue to bring the No. 1s and advocate for our artists every day.” [Photo Courtesy of Dennis Reese]
