Product Marketing Manager & Community Organizer - Clarence Gardener

Clarence Gardener is one of Broadband Entertainments pioneering interactive producers. In 2000, Clarence conceived and created an interactive music, lifestyle and entertainment website entitled cgmusic.tv which launched in 2002. It served as the first independently owned community website for urban lifestyle and entertainment that featured Broadband Video, E-commerce, Independent Music, Animation, and Editorials packaged for a compelling online user experience.

Gardener’s innovative leadership and creativity inspired a management team for cgmusic.tv that consisted of interactive, entertainment, and health industry veterans; Tracy Swedlow (Founder of Interactive TV Today [itvt]), Ray Murphy, Jr. (Former President of Eddie Murphy Productions), and Dr. Elijah Saunders (Chief of Cardiology/University of Maryland).

As the marketing director of cgmusic.tv, Clarence led this project to a distribution agreement with MeTV, Networks, Inc., the First in Internet and Broadband television. As an addition to the already popular interactive website, the strategic alliance with MeTV would also facilitate an iTV channel that would feature interactive VOD programming focusing on health and wellness, fashion, and music.

Currently, Clarence serves as an independent Web Marketing Consultant, specializing in Creative Direction and Product Development, which lead him to do business with a diverse clientele. In addition, Clarence has improved and developed Online Communities for companies looking to have a stronger web presence and consistent revenue streams.

Clarence holds a bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurship/Music Business from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. He currently resides in Lake Perris, CA.
