People are looking for ways to be authentic and genuine. Ways to stand out in a more and more homogenous world. CRS 40 threw away the cookie cutter to look at fresh and unique approaches to success in Country Radio and the record industry.

The “No Cookie Cutters” panel was an exciting and idea invigorating panel at CRS. The audience was treated to a panel of big picture, big idea people. Mercury Records Charlie Dean did a terrific job getting some excellent takes, musings, and ideas from some of the radio and record industries most active minds including Skip Bishop, Paige Nienaber, Rob Kelly, and Travis Moon. Panelists looked at ways to create memorable impact with a country radio station and in the record industry.

With a dash of inspiration and a fun touch of the unpredictable, the panelists shared some fresh ideas and laid some foundation for believing in true power of both industries.

New, and even pioneering, ideas were discussed & given a chance to be imagined.

The panelists talked about that adventurous spirit which helps fuel the most impactful and memorable events, projects and experiences. Panelists tried to ignite that spirit with every fun and interesting idea. New ideas were definitely taken home by many in attendance.

Part of the magic of CRS is that it definitely brings forth the great ideas and insight that will pump people up and help them believe that it is ok to do something fresh, genuine and authentic.
