Benztown and P1 Media Group will host a free webinar for radio professionals around the globe, entitled From Street Teamer to Morning Radio Superstar – How Kris Fade From Virgin Radio Dubai Built a Multimedia Empire.
The webinar is 27th in the companies’ Global Radio Ideas webinar series from top radio experts from around the world.
The 40-minute webinar will be hosted by Andreas Sannemann, CEO, Benztown, and Ken Benson, Partner, P1 Media Group, and will feature Kris Fade, Host of the #1 Rated Morning Show, The Kris Fade Show, on Virgin Radio 104.4 in Dubai.

Fade, often called “the Ryan Seacrest of the Middle East” talks to attendees live from Dubai, sharing the fascinating stories behind his meteoric career.
Fade began his radio journey working on the street team at The Edge 96.1 in his hometown of Sydney, Australia, later becoming the station’s Music Director and Afternoon Drive Host.
In 2008, he moved to Dubai to help launch Virgin Radio’s first station in the Middle East.
Within two years, Virgin Radio Dubai dominated the English market, and Virgin has been the market ratings and revenue leader ever since, due much in part to his Breakfast Show, which is also heard daily on Virgin Radio Lebanon.
Fade is not only a radio star; he recently starred in a top-rated Netflix reality series.
In Thursday’s webinar, Fade will share revealing stories from behind-the-scenes of building a multimedia empire, and will take attendees’ questions and cover topics including:

How he helped launch Richard Branson’s first Virgin Radio station in the Middle East and what it’s like to work with Branson.
How he adapted to the Dubai market and culture after moving from Sydney and how he cultivated a massive audience at Virgin Radio.
What are the secrets to his success and what has changed in the 16 years he’s been with Virgin Radio Dubai.
How production and imaging have been key to building his personal, show, and station brands.
How he and his wife came to star in the #1 streamed Netflix series, Dubai Bling, and how the show has propelled his brand.
What it’s like to interview stars on the Red Carpet at the Oscars and to have his own wax figure in Madame Tussaud’s.

WHEN: Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 10:00am PST/1:00pm EST/7:00pm CET. […]
