Republic Ups Abatangelo To VP/Brand Partnerships
• Republic Records has advanced Gina Abatangelo to Vice President of Brand Partnerships. Most recently Sr. Director, Brand Partnerships for Republic, the New York-based Abatangelo will continue to secure and execute a wide range of brand deals for roster artists and lead key experiential activations.
The announcement of Abatangelo’s upgrade was made by Republic EVP of Brand Partnerships Kerri Mackar, who commented, “Gina has played an integral role in transforming Republic’s brand partnerships team, taking our collaborations and events to the next level through natural leadership, resourceful innovation, and meticulous execution. Gina’s dedication and commitment to connecting our talent with unique opportunities and developing ideas with thought and precision have earned her the trust of our artists and brand partners, as well as our colleagues. I’ve had the honor of watching Gina’s career grow from our time together at Rolling Stone through the last four years at Republic and can’t wait to see her flourish in this new role.”
Abatangelo remarked, “As a team, we’re constantly pushing ourselves to figure out how we can elevate our artists and Republic as a brand. I’ve learned so much from Kerri from both a professional and personal perspective. She’s given me amazing latitude for creativity in this role. At the end of the day, artists entrust us with their brands, and it’s not only our job to protect and find partners to complement them, but to propel them as far as possible.” Prior to joining the Republic Records’ team in 2017, Abatangelo spent five years in the marketing department at Rolling Stone.
