Meet Our Marketing Gurus
Christy Strohm
Hi! I’m Christy, lifelong resident and lover of the Northland and all its beauty. I have over 20 years experience in Media; I started my career in Radio back in 1999! It is so exciting to be back where it all started for me! A lot has changed since then, but what has remained steadfast is the need for your business to stand out in the crowd. With our 7 radio stations, digital advertising opportunities and promotions, I have the perfect vehicles to help you do just that.
I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, on the lake, laughing, exploring, listening to music and coaching/mentoring. I take great pleasure in building relationships with people and helping them grow their businesses. I am an out-of-the-box thinker and love to brainstorm & come up with new ideas for you and your business. I also really enjoy giving back & being involved in the community; I serve on several local Board of Directors. I look forward to working with you and your business & growing your market share!
