Digital Operations USA
Media Resources is proud to announce the addition of Greg Clark to our Digital LED Display division as Manager, U.S. Digital Operations.
“Greg will play a major role in our continuing U.S. expansion. With hundreds of U.S. digital installs per year he will be busy. Additionally, he will oversee the expansion of digital manufacturing in the U.S. through our Charlotte facility. We are very pleased to have Greg join our team. He is extremely knowledgeable and customer service oriented”, Jeff Rushton, Media Resources President & CEO.
Asked why he chose to join Media Resources Greg said “before joining Media Resources, I did a full review of their products and operation and was impressed by what I saw. The team has been terrific. Another thing I liked is Media Resources doesn’t stand still; they’re always pushing the envelope to exceed Outdoor Advertising Company digital needs. “
Greg started in Outdoor with the original multiple message center product, trivision three-message displays. His work with Action Graphics made him a well-known figure in the industry.
Further expanding his OOH knowledge, Greg then became part of the All Steel Structures team where he was Director of Sales and Marketing. All Steel is a nationally known fabrication and installation company specializing in the billboard industry. Naturally we do a lot of installs, so this experience was huge.
Not stopping there, Greg went back to multiple message displays (digital this time), becoming Vice President of Operations for LightKing Outdoor (another digital display manufacturer).
Greg is moving from sunny Miami to the Queen City, Charlotte, where one of our main U.S. operations offices is located.
Married with 3 children, Greg’s an avid golfer. His main hobby is riding his Harley and traveling. Media Resources has lots of Harley Riders so don’t be surprised if you see the MRI gang colors on the road (Red, Green & Blue of course)!
Founded in 1967, Media Resources is an integrated sign services and manufacturing company providing Digital LED Displays, 3D Fabrication, Large Format Printing and Sign Installation for Out-of-Home companies, sign companies, casinos, advertising agencies and specialty building owners.

In December 2019, the company announced an exclusive, reciprocal alliance with BlueMedia, a leading communications services group in China. This alliance will give Branded Cities access to marketers and brands based in China while providing BlueMedia with the same options in North America.
Previously, Kronengold was senior vice president, strategy and marketing communications at Time Warner Cable. Before that, she was executive vice president-global CMO for Brooks Brothers. She has also been an executive at Tommy Hilfiger North America and Polo Ralph Lauren.
