Big Loud Makes More Noise

• Big Loud Records announced several key executive upgrades and some fresh faces in its Promotion department.

Let’s start in the rarified air of the VP suite, where Stacy Blythe has been elevated from VP to SVP of Promotion. Blythe (left) has been integral to Big Loud’s success, earning 11 U.S. No. 1s with Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum certifications, plus more than 14 billion global streams to date — in less than six years. Blythe will be joined in her step-up by Ali Matkosky (right), who rises into the VP of Promotion role from National Director Promotion.

Matkosky’s former National Director of Promotion spot will be filled by longtime promotion staffer Tyler Waugh (left), who is elevated from Director Southeast Promotion. It was concurrently announced that Promotion Coordinator Sarah Headley (center) will move up and succeed Waugh as the label’s newly named Director Southeast Promotion, while Delaney Rogers (right) shifts her duties as Executive Assistant from Big Loud Partner/CEO Seth England over to Stacy Blythe.

Meanwhile, Big Loud Records also welcomes two new staffers: Radio vet Kelley Brock (left), best known for her on-air success at WKDF/Nashville and WUSY/Chattanooga joins Big Loud Records as Promotion Coordinator, and Michigan native Aubrey Wilson (right) joins the label as Data & Analytics Coordinator, succeeding Giuliana Mignone, who left to pursue her artist career. Brock can now be reached at kelley@bigloud.com, and Wilson can be contacted at aubrey@bigloud.com.
