ABOUT ME
My name is Danny Tantillo and I'm a creative production leader with 10+ years of experience in broadcast and digital media. I spent most of that time at Townsquare Media, working my way up through nearly every corner of the industry and developing a pretty well-rounded understanding of what keeps audiences engaged.
​
In my most recent role as Regional Production Director, I led commercial production and creative services across 7 markets and 45 stations in the Northeast, where I created 3,000+ media assets each year with 100% on-time delivery. In addition to executing content on a large scale, I reduced turnaround time by 60% by redesigning workflows and developing standardized templates to improve operational efficiency and cross-functional communication across all teams.
​
​
I also held dual leadership roles as Assistant Program Director and Production Director for New Jersey 101.5, the state’s most-listened-to radio station. Whether I was using Nielsen Analytics to increase time-spent-listening, refreshing the sound of the station with creative imaging, or developing branded campaigns contributing to 80% client retention, I always found myself at the intersection of operational discipline, strategic vision and creative excellence. During my tenure, New Jersey 101.5 maintained consistent #1 ratings reaching over 1 million weekly listeners, and was a national finalist for “Best News/Talk Station” in the country on three separate occasions.
​
But the operational and managerial side is only half the story. I’ve always had a passion for the creative side of the industry. Throughout my career, I've written and voiced thousands of commercials and campaigns, produced creative content across just about every radio format, and spent years as an on-air personality on New Jersey 101.5. Whether I'm in the production studio or in front of a mic, I bring the same focus and dedication to my craft. There’s something really rewarding about producing content that resonates with audiences, strengthens the brand, and delivers results you can actually measure.
​
What sets me apart, and frankly shapes everything about who I am and what I create, is a deep, genuine passion for music. During any given day, you might find me flipping through crates at a record store, checking out a show at venues across Philadelphia, or making endless playlists for every mood you can imagine. All of that feeds directly into my work. Years of genuinely obsessing over music across every genre has given me a real instinct that’s frankly hard to teach. I take real pride in curating listening experiences that fit a mood, tell a story, and make people feel something.
​
​
I'm currently seeking leadership roles in media operations, production management, and creative services — ideally in media, podcast, or creative agency environments — while actively freelancing in audio production and voiceover. If that sounds like a conversation worth having, I'd love to connect.
