“Hiring you is one of the smartest things I’ve done, and I want you to know how much I appreciate all your help. Please keep arguing with me when I’m wrong, or when you think another point of view should be considered. AC KRNO and Classic Hits KODS would be far less successful stations without your integrity, intelligence and skillful guidance.”

Gary has consulted our two biggest AC’s for over two years with tremendous success. He has the ability to narrow down a handful of key drivers and keep us laser focused on those.
Since his involvement we’ve had superior sounding products and tremendous success. Gary provides invaluable help with music research, imaging, marketing, promotions and talent coaching.
Not only do I highly recommend him, but I would happily discuss his achievements with anyone wishing to hire him in the future.

“In my 28 years in radio I've worked with a lot of consultants, but no one has the attention to detail that I've found with Gary Berkowitz. Gary likes to roll up his sleeves and get into a project, whether it be a music test, perceptual, or a simple aircheck review. When you need a consultant to go the extra mile, there’s only one Gary"
