Meet the President and CEO
TellaNation President and CEO, Stu Ginsberg, has been working in the On Hold industry since 1985, first with one of the originators of the business - Audiocom, Inc. 18 years later, in 2003, Stu created HoldUSA and continued to serve clients such as AutoNation, Kaiser Permanente, Ryder Truck Rental and many other small, medium and large businesses. In 2008, HoldUSA merged with one of the largest On Hold companies at the time - OMG National. While OMG National has grown and diversified into a successful Digital Marketing Agency, Stu has stayed true to his roots in the production of Telephone On Hold messages and Telephone System recordings. During his career, Stu has learned that the best way to retain customers and earn referrals and expand business opportunities is to be totally customer-focused, and remember that every client is important, no matter how big or small. Likewise, Stu knows that a talented group of dedicated and experienced writers, voice talents, audio engineers and administrative support are the backbone of any successful business.
