Bernstein has spent more than 25 years working across radio, music, advertising, media syndication, talent management, touring and brand strategy. His career includes leadership roles as President of Superadio Networks, Radio One's Syndication One and, today, Oceanic Tradewinds.

Throughout that career, Bernstein has been associated with the development, syndication and expansion of programming featuring some of the most recognizable voices in African American media, including Wendy Williams, Frank Ski, Rickey Smiley, Donnie McClurkin, Rev. Al Sharpton, Roland Martin, Russ Parr and Tasha K, among others.

His experience extends beyond talent representation and programming. Bernstein has worked at the intersection of content creation, distribution, advertising, touring and creator-driven media, developing strategies designed to transform audience relationships into sustainable business opportunities. He also engineered the sale of Superadio Networks to Access.1 Communications.

That combination of operating experience and relationship building is central to his new advisory role.
