Big Loud Inks Smoot For Secondary Promo
• Big Loud Records welcomes Lisa Smoot as Director, Secondary Promotion, the newest addition to the label’s internal radio promotion team. In her new role, Smoot will oversee secondary promotion across the label’s roster of Country singles.
Smoot, the 2023 CRS / Country Aircheck Award winner for Independent Promotion Executive of the Year joins Big Loud after a nearly 20-year tenure with Jerry Duncan Promotions, where she rose from Promotions Coordinator to Vice President of the company.
“This is a long overdue move, as Lisa has been a day one Big Loud partner,” said Stacy Blythe, who last week was elevated to Big Loud EVP of Promotion. “Her passion and positive attitude are contagious, and we are thrilled to have her on our team!”
“No words can describe my excitement about officially joining the Big Loud family,” Smoot says. “I remember when Seth [England] and Craig [Wiseman] brought Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley to our office at Jerry Duncan Promotions 12 years ago and listening to ‘Cruise’ to consider for promotion in secondary markets. Big Loud has always thought outside the box and is constantly reinventing how things are done. I am honored, humbled, and privileged to be offered this opportunity to work under the guidance of Seth, Stacy, [Big Loud VP of Promotion] Tyler [Waugh], and the entire promotion team as I dive head-first into a new journey where every day is a chance to redefine success.”
