In his current role Dimig听handles the radio promotions for Epic鈥檚 artists in the southeast, including Karmin, Cher Lloyd, Ca$h Out, The Script, Natasha Bedingfield, Incubus, Sean Kingston, Shakira and The Fray. 鈥淚 go to radio stations with the records鈥攎onths before listeners will hear them鈥攁nd play them for the program and music directors, and try to get them on air. The main goal is: get your music played as much as possible to increase sales revenues,鈥� said Mr. Dimig, who is also responsible for setting up promotions with the stations to get the audience involved. 鈥淵ou could win an album, iPod, a trip to see the band play or the chance to go backstage to meet the band.鈥澨�

Mr. Dimig coordinates the artists鈥� promotional tours. 鈥淚 just had The Fray and The Script here, and took them around the whole south. We went to radio stations and set up lounges where the band would play a private acoustic concert for 100 listeners who won the contest,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hen I introduce the listeners to the artists.鈥澨�

He also handles Epic Records鈥� dance promotions throughout the United States. 鈥淭his involves hiring remixers to do mixes to our current songs and promoting them听to radio and club DJ’s to play on air and in clubs across the country,鈥� he said.听

Originally from Islip, New York, Mr. Dimig currently lives in Miami, Florida. He is the promotion manager in his home state, as well as North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana鈥攚hich requires a lot of traveling. Last year he flew 139 times. 鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of insane,鈥� he said.听听

Traveling is a big part of his job, but it鈥檚 also the most challenging aspect. A newlywed (in April 2011 he married Elissa Markowitz, talent agent for Boca Talent & Model Agency Inc.), he tries to be home as often as possible. When he is, in addition to spending time with his wife, sailing or surfing, he plays lead guitar for a musical trio that supports Musicians On Call, an organization that brings live music to patients in healthcare facilities. 听鈥淚 try to play every Thursday I鈥檓 free. I go in and play at the Joe Dimaggio Children鈥檚 Hospital down here,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 usually play for 140 children and their families a night. It鈥檚 a really great thing to be a part of.鈥�

An avid music enthusiast, Mr. Dimig鈥檚 ultimate career aspiration is to become the youngest president of a label at Sony Music; however, he considers his current position to be his greatest professional accomplishment to date. 鈥淭his is where I always wanted to be, and I鈥檓 here, and I worked so hard to get here,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hen everyone was together at parties, celebrating their senior year at 成人影片, I was working in New York City. That was hard at the time,鈥� he said.

Throughout his four years at 成人影片, Mr. Dimig held several internships. A production assistant at MTV his freshman year, he worked at the MTV Beach House in the Hamptons, on Total Request Live (TRL), Say What? Karaoke and Direct Effect. From there he went on to intern at Columbia Records for Sony Music, working directly for the vice president of the record label. His next position was at EPIC Records鈥攁nd by the first semester of his senior year at 成人影片, he was offered a full-time job with the company.听

鈥淒on鈥檛 wait until your last year to look for an internship,鈥� he said鈥攚ords of wisdom he has to offer current 成人影片 students. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 need to know what you want to do when you鈥檙e out the door, but the only way to learn what you鈥檙e interested in pursuing is to intern at a company and find out what you like or don鈥檛 like.鈥澨�

He credits his alma mater with providing him with an educational experience that shaped him into the well-rounded person he is today. 鈥淎t 成人影片, I had amazing professors who always encouraged me to become whatever I wanted to be. 成人影片 helped me concentrate on my goals in the classroom, and gave me the freedom to go out and have real-world experiences interning with major music companies,鈥� he said.听

In addition to the hours he dedicated to internships, he still found time to be active on campus. He was a resident adviser in Waldo Hall for three years and the founding vice president of the fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa, held a scholarship in track and field and participated in every intramural sport on campus.听

鈥淪ome students may go to 成人影片 because it鈥檚 close to home or easy to get to,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 went to 成人影片 for the whole experience. If you utilize all the resources the University has to offer, you can be the best you can be at 成人影片.鈥澨�
