Vanessa Wojtusiak: Free Agent

• More reported budget cuts have resulted in the departure of Vanessa Wojtusiak, VP of Marketing iHeartMedia Connecticut.

Wojtusiak actually got her start in this building 20 years ago as a promotions intern for Clear Channel, which lead to marketing opportunities at WXKS (Kiss 108) and the late WBCN/Boston. After a walk on the label side with EMI Music Group/Virgin Records/Capitol Records, Wojtusiak returned to iHeartMedia as an original Project Manager of the iHeartRadio app, did some digital programming, and was later named Director of Social Marketing & Engagement overseeing social media for the iHeartRadio brand, iHeartRadio tentpole events and companywide lead for social media.

Wojtusiak next transitioned to local television, joining Nexstar Media Group’s WTNH-TV & WCTX-TV/New Haven as Director of Audience Development before returning once again to iHeart Connecticut in Nov. 2019.

“This was a special place for me, and I’m grateful for that full-circle moment of being able to work with 11 iconic Connecticut radio stations, staff and partners that I was so passionate about every single day,” Wojtusiak tells RAMP. “I’m looking forward to my next role, where I can continue to use my experience and my many skills I’ve acquired along the way. Friends and colleagues in the business can continue to reach me by email at Vanessa.Wojtusiak@gmail.com or on Instagram @VanessaWojtusiak.”
