Welcome to the latest Radio on Main Street series recorded on-site at the 2023 Association of National Advertisers’ (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference. RAB had the opportunity to chat with many attendees about their businesses, their marketing goals, the issues they are most focused on and of course, their thoughts about radio.

In our first episode of the series, RAB’s Erica Farber had the pleasure of sitting down with Nicole LaSpina, senior director of brand marketing for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
