All In All… It’s Marty Wall…

• Veteran radio and television marketing exec Marty Wall has been appointed as Director of Marketing for Cumulus Media Detroit. Wall brings more than 20 years of experience to the cluster and will now oversee all marketing initiatives for Hot AC WDVD and Country duo WDRQ (NASH FM 93.1) and NASH Icon (WDRQ-HD2).

Wall (left) recently returned to his hometown of Detroit after 20 years in Los Angeles, where he worked for top creative agencies and television networks. Wall credits much of his career success to mentors including Scott Shannon, Steve Kingston, Pat Martin and Alan Burns. His radio experience includes five years at Z100/New York, the launch of WQHT (Hot 97)/New York and WRQX (Q107)/Washington, DC.

Robby Bridges, Director of FM Programming for Cumulus Detroit, said, “Marty’s work at Z100 is legendary. That, paired with his experience across the media landscape during his years in L.A., gives him the unique ability to connect audiences to station brands and brands to clients. He’s a relentless competitor whom I believe will be a game-changer for our Detroit cluster. I’m looking forward to his working with me, Promotion Manager Rochelle Burk and Promo Director/Street Team Captain Adam Ficorelli.”

Wall remarked, “I’m thrilled to join Cumulus and Robby’s team in one of the most competitive radio markets in America. I want to thank him and Mike Wheeler for the opportunity.”
