During his tenure, Clinton was also a driving force behind establishing the annual Tower Awards for Hearst's business side, which gives honors to the company's top performing titles. He joined the company from Condé Nast, where he was the EVP and oversaw sales and... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
