Transition Time At Salem Surround
• Salem Media, Inc. announced a leadership transition for Salem Surround, the company’s digital marketing agency, as division SVP/GM Jon Latzer prepares to retire following his years of service to the company.
Latzer (left) joined Salem in 2019, transitioning from his role as Regional Interactive & Digital Sales Manager for Alpha Media. He held earlier executive roles at CBS Local Digital Media, TuneIn, CBS Radio, Clear Channel, and Katz Radio.
“Jon has been a tremendous leader and trusted partner throughout his time at Salem,” said Jamie Cohen, Chief Digital Officer of Salem Media. “He has helped shape Salem Surround into the business it is today through his commitment to our people, our clients, and our local markets. We’re incredibly grateful for everything he’s contributed and wish him the very best in his retirement.”
Latzer will continue working with Salem’s leadership team throughout the transition to help ensure a seamless handoff for employees, clients, vendors, and sales teams. As part of that transition, Chris Kligora (left), Sr. Director of Multimedia Sales for Salem Media will assume interim leadership of Salem Surround’s revenue organization.
“Chris has the experience and leadership to guide Salem Surround through this transition,” Cohen said. “He understands our business, our customers, and our sales organization, and he’s well positioned to continue building on the strong foundation Jon helped create.”
William Cosey and Jonathan Greer will continue leading Salem Surround’s operations, fulfillment, and client execution, ensuring continuity for customers, vendors, sales teams, and internal stakeholders.
“Salem Surround remains a critical part of our long-term digital strategy,” Cohen added. “This transition allows us to honor Jon’s contributions while continuing to strengthen the structure, support, and execution behind the business. Our focus remains on serving clients well, supporting our sellers, and building scalable digital solutions that help drive results.”
