Jim’s ability to inspire and motivate his team, combined with his deep understanding of the market, positions him to lead our sales division to new heights. His exceptional ability to build strong relationships with both advertisers and employees has been instrumental in our success and will continue to drive our growth.”

Beasley has created an unmatched culture here in Philadelphia and I look forward to working with this team of marketing experts on growing digital revenue through our full-service approach and creative ideas.
