BMLG Inks Dawes As VP/Publicity & Comms
• Big Machine Label Group, a subsidiary of HYBE America, announced the appointment of Jodi Dawes as Vice President of Publicity & Communications, where she will oversee the label group’s PR department and lead media strategy across Big Machine Records, The Valory Music Co., and Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment.
Just last week we reported that Dawes had exited as Director of Media Marketing for UMG Nashville after 3 1/2 years, but had hinted that she had a new opportunity in the works. Mystery solved.
Dawes now reports to Scott Borchetta, BMLG Chairman & CEO, who commented, “Jodi is joining us at a very important time in the evolution of the Big Machine Label Group. Her laser-sharp acumen in the media world will not only enhance, but add a multiple to supercharging all things Big Machine. I’m thrilled to have her on the team.”
“What Scott and his team at Big Machine Label Group have built across the last two decades is remarkable, and their enthusiasm for the future of the company is contagious,” Dawes said. “I’m thrilled to join them and work with this roster of talented artists, encompassing burgeoning new voices, road-tested hitmakers, and bona fide stars. It’s an honor to lead publicity efforts at BMLG at such an exciting time for this label, and for Country music as a whole.”
