He previously spent 20 years at Clear Channel Phoenix rising to General Sales Manager from 1994 to 2011. Gould then spent nine years at Clear Channel Outdoor first as Phoenix based VP/Sales and then Southwest Regional Sales Leader before moving to their Los Angeles office as VP/Sales.
Gould succeeds Rick Parrish, who had joined the company in July 2021.
SummitMedia has named 20-year media vet Brad Gould as President of its five-station cluster in Omaha. Most recently, Gould served as Executive Vice President of Business Development at LaneTerralever, the longest tenured marketing agency in the state of Arizona. Previously, he spent nine years with Clear Channel Outdoor, ultimately leading the Los Angeles area as VP of sales. In addition, he spent several years as General Sales Manager for iHeartMedia in Phoenix.
“I am thrilled to be offered the opportunity to lead the SummitMedia Omaha team,” said Gould. “I wish Rick Parrish all the best and thank him for all he’s done to create the best media organization in Omaha.”
SummitMedia Chairman and CEO Carl Parmer stated, “We are very excited Brad will be leading our outstanding team in Omaha. His success in various media management roles is exactly what we need as we continue to evolve the Market President role in today’s environment.”
“Brad’s understanding of Media enables Summit to compete at an even higher level,” added SummitMedia Chief Revenue Officer John Walker. “Look for Brad and our Omaha team to become even more involved in the community, not only with business leaders but also in local non-profits.”
Gould and his wife, Lonelle, recently moved to Omaha for the opportunity to be closer to family. (Lonelle is a native Nebraskan.) They are hoping to take an active role in the community and local charities.
