Eventually, he moved onto the largest commercial radio provider in the United States, Clear Channel Communications, which would later become iHeartMedia, Inc (also acclaimed for their iHeartRadio app and Festival). Michael was with the organization for ten years as a talk show producer, control-room technical operator, traffic producer, and news reporter for several stations throughout Florida. He also provided on-air content for the Miami-Fort Lauderdale FM sister stations and assisted in the execution of the social media strategy for the AM News Division. During his undergraduate studies, he interned for one of NBC Universal’s investigative news and special project units; he also completed a digital marketing and production internship with a national morning talk show. His work in television expanded when he acted as a Senior Producer for a national cable talk show that was in development. Michael has worked for many years in branded content with several different platforms. Thereafter he started to hone in on the digital realm, designing a social media strategy for the United Nations Association. He successfully implemented a digital strategic plan in support of the Adopt-A-Future campaign (within the South Florida area), providing education efforts for refugees across the world. Michael also served as a publicist and communication consultant for several individuals and businesses including a national media personality, best-selling children's book author, recording artist, real estate developer, ethnic food-product brands, and a beauty line.
