Lotus Communications has announced new promotions for Andrew Adams and Jeff Connell for its Seattle cluster.
Adams will serve as the General Manager of the company’s Seattle operations. He joins Lotus after previously serving in a similar role for Stephens Media Group in Spokane. Adams also spent 13 years leading the Salem Media operations in Seattle, and also worked at Mapleton Communications.
“Andrew is a positive and supportive leader who is deeply focused on helping people succeed,” said Lotus Chief Operating Officer Jim Kalmenson. “His management style centers on supporting sellers, strengthening teams, and building smart, effective creative packages that help advertisers achieve real results. Radio has been part of Andrew’s life for decades. He started in the business while attending his alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin, and has continued in the industry ever since. He truly cares about our industry and believes deeply in what we do.”
Meanwhile, Jeff Connell has been elevated to the role of Director of Operations and Brand Management. He has worked as the Regional Program Director for 101.5 Hank-FM in Seattle, as well as 107.1 Hank-FM in Boise. He also helped lead the cluster’s marketing and promotions efforts.
