Nonesuch Records Welcomes Carlen As VP
• Hannah Carlen has been named Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Warner Music Group’s Nonesuch Records, overseeing marketing, sales, publicity, new media, and content creation. She succeeds former marketing chief, Dan Cohen, who had been with the company since 2018.
Carlen will be based at the label’s global HQ in New York and report to Nonesuch President David Bither, who said, “The stability of Nonesuch’s management team has been one of our great strengths over the years. Dan made significant contributions to Nonesuch over nearly a decade with us and we are now fortunate to have someone of Hannah’s expertise and judgment to take over this critical role. I am grateful that Nonesuch will benefit from the rich experience she brings us.”
Carlen was most recently Sr. Director of Marketing and Communications for Secretly Group and All Flowers Group. She started her career in Portland, OR, working in radio promotion, focused on the non-comm and Triple A formats. She joined the Secretly Group family of labels in 2011 as Radio Director, and in 2017, she became Secretly Group’s first U.S. Marketing Director. Last year she also joined the marketing leadership of All Flowers Group.
“Nonesuch is simply one of the best and most essential record labels of all time,” Carlen said. “I have loved so many of these artists for so long, and Nonesuch’s pioneering, beyond-genre point of view is without modern comparison.” She continued, “Equally special is the home that Nonesuch makes for artists, the ways this team supports their work, and the patience and care Nonesuch brings to artist development. I am honored beyond belief to have the trust of its leadership, and thrilled to find an immediate friend and mentor in Nonesuch’s President, David Bither. I’m grateful to him for the opportunity, to Dan Cohen for his invaluable stewardship preceding me, and to Nonesuch’s expert senior leaders, who have been so welcoming already.” [Photo Credit: Eleanor Petry]
