Tommy Hadges, President/Worldwide Video & Radio

Tommy Hadges ranks among the giants of the independent media consultation industry. His years of broadcasting experience comprise a rock solid track record of achievement and his work with Pollack Media Group has earned him a reputation as one of the world's leading consultants. Oddly enough, he almost bypassed the field altogether.

The oldest child of working class parents in Brockton, Massachusetts, Tommy Hadges aspired to become a dentist. And his tenacity took him as far as Harvard Dental School before he realized his heart lay elsewhere.

The electronic media seemed to hold a spell over him from the beginning, however. A member of the audio/visual set during his early school years, Hadges was always fascinated with technology and its applications. He spent countless hours taking apart and reassembling radios, televisions and other household appliances.

Dave Brewer, Executive Vice President/U.S. Radio

Dave Brewer is one of the lucky ones. Dave knew from the time that he was seven years old that he wanted to be on the radio. He would play "DJ" by announcing introductions to records on his transistor radio. That’s why it was an easy decision, years later, for Dave to choose Central Michigan University because of its strong broadcast curriculum.

After several years in college radio and graduating with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts, Dave began his professional radio career in 1975 as a Top 40 announcer in Grand Rapids Michigan. The urge to program was always great, so Dave was thrilled to get his first professional program director position so soon at a 100,000 watt FM station in Ft. Pierce, Fla., in 1976. After several years as an on-air morning man and Program Director in Michigan and Florida, Dave accepted the program director position at the legendary heritage rock station, KATT in Oklahoma City in 1982.

Julia is the newest member of the Pollack team by just a few decades. She spends her work and free time doing pretty much the same thing: scouring the internet for cool websites, new bands, and great music. Forever passionate about music, Julia loves working in a space that allows her to think about all the levels on which music can exist and be experienced, as well as the future of the industry. Her main interests are live performances, digital music discovery, artist development, and music supervision.

Julia graduated from the University of Virginia with a dual concentration in Media Studies and Philosophy, and was as surprised as anyone to land a career that actually incorporated what she learned in her four years of liberal arts education. While in school, Julia was a DJ for an indie/alternative rock show at 91.1 WTJU Charlottesville, VA and wrote freelance articles on the American music scene for Australian music mag, In-Press.
