An Interview with Ernie Canadeo, CEO of The EGC Group

Ernie Canadeo is a dynamo of digital advertising, a champion of regional entertainment and quite possibly the most interesting man in Long Island innovation. The founder and CEO of Melville-based integrated advertising agency The EGC Group and chairman of the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame has built a successful career around big names, big ideas and a lifelong love of great music. Mostly, he’s done it by having fun– an important lesson for entrepreneurs and business owners of all shapes and sizes. In today’s episode, the marketing master joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss the old (“X-rated”) days at Studio 54, the rise of EGC and the opening of the LIMEHOF’s shiny new Stony Brook museum – and recount enough brushes with fame to choke Johnny Carson.
