CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (Clarksvillenow.com) Students from the Sports Marketing Class, majoring in sports broadcasting, at Austin Peay State University recently paid a visit to the studios of the 5 Star Media Group and Clarksvillenow.com.
”They’re getting an opportunity to actually get hands-on experience in sponsorship sales and learn more about that side of the business instead of the on-air, more the marketing and promotion side,” said Barry Gresham, Instructor of Communication and Coordinator of the Sports Broadcasting Major at APSU.
Gresham added that some of the students have never been into a commercial radio station studio before to see what all goes on with sales along with the different radio stations and Clarksvillenow.com. It kind of ties it all in and it’s a great experience.
The students spoke with Scott Chase, Brand Manager for radio stations ESPN Clarksville and Q-108, Lee Erwin with Clarksvillenow.com and Mike Robinson, Senior Media Marketing Consultant.
