As an integral component to the “Iconic Innovator” Award, AirPlay Direct is honoring Mr. Rosenblatt with a $50,000 AirPlay Direct “Marketing & Advertising” Campaign to accelerate his on-going brand development and global radio distribution footprint for his label’s new releases and deep catalog.

“I am grateful and humbled to accept this ‘Iconic Innovator’ award from AirPlay Direct, particularly because it’s not a static statuette to sit on my shelf, but a living, breathing award to enable the VizzTone Label Group to bring our new releases and vast catalog to a large and very active group of DJs and radio programmers, and through them to many new listeners.

It’s been a pleasure to work with Robert and Lynda Weingartz and experience first-hand the power of their vision, and with the year-long promotional campaign that this award entails, we are thrilled to make many new inroads to Global Radio. I’m happy to share this award with my VizzTone partners Bob Margolin and Amy Brat, and proud to join the distinguished ranks of past winners and respected record industry executives including Bruce Iglauer, Ken Irwin and Michael Frank.

For our first AirPlay Direct Press Release, we decided to celebrate Women’s History Month and feature some of the great female artists we’ve had the pleasure to work with, starting with multiple Blues Music Award-winning Soul Blues artist Annika Chambers and her husband, celebrated Canadian guitarist Paul DesLauriers. Their new album is a powerful, soulfully rocking album that’s an inspiration and a balm for life in today’s world. And we’re happy to have the opportunity to feature nine more female artists who give a glimpse into the depth and stylistic diversity of our deep catalog.”  ~ Richard Rosenblatt, Founder / President – VizzTone Label Group
