Allow us to introduce you to the Most Intriguing People of 2013 and the 2013 Hall of Fame. This prestigious list is a snapshot of the movers, doers, and thinkers in our industry at this specific moment in time, carefully culled from the worlds of broadcast, cable, digital and advertising. These senior-level leaders were chosen for a variety of reasons: they may be in a new position that requires especially innovative problem-solving, they might have recently brokered an impressive deal in a challenging market, they may be responsible for ratings spikes or a chain of successes that deserve recognition and celebration.
We will be spotlighting each of these special people in a series of Cynopsis Special eReports, being released throughout March and April. Enjoy!
