MEDIA
What started off as a consulting job for Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio Music Festival in 2011 has turned into a full-time position for Kevin Mackall, who has been named senior VP of visual branding at Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. Based in New York and reporting to national programming platforms president Tom Poleman, Mackall will oversee visual branding for Clear Channel’s 850 radio stations and its digital radio service, iHeartRadio. He will also manage station logos, TV commercials, outdoor advertising and brand packages for the iHeartRadio festival and other events. “It’s fascinating what’s going on at Clear Channel right now, because our entrance into this realm of video content and branding is relatively new,” Mackall says. “Yet it’s a massive company with an amazing footprint in the marketplace.” Mackall previously served as senior VP of MTV’s on-air promotions for more than a decade.
