Dingess Trades Radio For Records
• After a successful five-year run as Social Media Manager for Meruelo Media’s KPWR (Power 106)/Los Angeles, Ashley Dingess is making the transition to the label side, joining Mad Decent Records as Digital Platform Specialist. In her new adventure, which begins Dec. 11, Dingess will be responsible for leading strategy for digital platforms, partnerships and online marketing initiatives while creating pitches to secure placements for Mad Decent artists on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, etc.
As Dingess tells RAMP, “It wasn’t an easy decision to leave Power, but in the five years I was there as Social Media Manager I was able to take their social media reach from about 150K to over 1.5 million, making Power the most socially-followed radio station on the west coast. It was amazing to be able to build a strong team to reflect the amazing on-air brand on social media. Working at Power taught me so much and having such epic talent to promote made my job fun and challenging.”
Prior to joining Power 106 in June 2013, Dingess spent five years in various roles with iHeartMedia just a few short blocks down Olive Avenue — she worked in promotions, later served as Andrew Jeffries‘ assistant and was Content Producer for KYSR and KBIG (104.3 My FM). [Photo credit: @ralphg]
