Elliott Leaves Cherry Creek, Goes Solo

• With Cherry Creek Media’s acquisition by Townsquare Media now formally approved by the FCC, longtime Cherry Group Program Director Mark Elliott announced he will not be making the transition to Townsquare, and will instead return his fulltime focus to the operation of his consultancy, Mark Elliott Media and the expansion of his digital outlet, Radio Espionage. Elliott originally launched Mark Elliott Media in 2007 and operated it fulltime until joining Cherry Creek in 2015.

Elliott noted, “The world has changed over the past seven years, and with the growth of digital, there is more opportunity today than when I started consulting 15 years ago, and after 40+ years of being involved with radio in just about every capacity, it’s time for a new challenge. I want to thank everyone at Cherry Creek Media for allowing me to help grow a company worthy of being acquired by one of our industry’s premiere radio groups in Townsquare Media.” He added, “Cherry Creek was one of my first clients dating back to 2008 and working with everyone over the years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.”
