Informationen zum Autor Since the early 1980s, David Greenberg has been in the trenches, shooting off fusillades into the noisy fray, attempting the marketing of music, artist development, and branding strategy. Presently, he is the Director of Marketing and Development for Music Works International, a Music Booking Agency based North of Boston. In his past life, Greenberg had the ungodly commute into Boston then snaking through the traffic over to Brighton, to direct the marketing at an Agency best left to the imagination, and which still shall not be named much like Ms. Rowling's Voldemort.

Coolidge worked with the top PR men of his day and seized on the rising technologies of newsreels and radio to bring the presidency into the lives of ordinary Americans-a path that led directly to FDR's "fireside chats" and the expert use of television by Kennedy and Reagan.
