Funnel Media Group Sold to Susan M. Finch
The Funnel Media Group Agency Produces Live Internet Radio/Podcast Programs has been Sold to Insider The twelve-year-old Funnel Media Group (FMG) that produces live-streaming internet radio programs and follow-on podcasts has been sold for an undisclosed sum to Susan Finch of Susan Finch Solutions, Portland, OR. FMG started twelve years ago with a single podcast for the Sales Lead Management Association (SLMA). Within a few years, SLMA Radio, as it was known, produced programming for business-to-business (B2B) companies under the station name of SLMA Live. As SLMA Live grew, it evolved into the Funnel Media Group, with the Sales Lead Management Association as a business unit of FMG. As a full-service podcasting agency, FMG produces fourteen programs with 23 program hosts on the Funnel Radio Channel. The company also owns the B2B Podcast Directory. Susan Finch has been associated with SLMA, and subsequently the Funnel Media Group, since before the launch of SLMA Radio. In December of 2019, Susan Finch was named Vice President of Operations. Finch has been a minority shareholder in the Funnel Media Group LLC. since 2014. James W. Obermayer, CEO of the Funnel Media Group and founder of the SLMA, said of Susan Finch, “Susan has been a driving force behind our success and we forecast that she and her team will greatly expand the Funnel Media Group. Finch has a unique talent and knowledge of social media, internet radio, and podcast creation. For the past two years, she has been an in-demand instructor on podcast creation and management, and more recently on online event creation and management, for the Direct Marketing Association of Northern California.” Susan Finch said, “To have the privilege of continuing with these shows is exciting. I was so pleased to be able to help Jim build FMG from the ground up, starting with our first show, and then our first host, Jeanne Hopkins. I can’t wait to add to our list of shows and services. My team is so pumped and ready to dive in, full force.” Jeanne Hopkins, Chief Revenue Officer at SquadLocker, said “From the first moment we worked together, I knew Susan Finch would always bring the freshest ideas, protect our brand, and help us reach our goals. Every show I’ve produced with the Funnel Media Group has been successful and fun. I’m looking forward to launching new award-winning podcasts with her in her new leadership role. Her team is the best.” About Ssan Finch A marketing professional for decades, Susan Finch brings to her diverse group of clients a multi-industry perspective, to expand their approach to reaching target markets.
