Secretly Welcomes Bri Aab

• Secretly Group, those fine folks who bring you Dead Oceans, Jagjaguwar and Secretly Canadian, has named Bri Flannery Aab as its new U.S. Radio Director, working alongside Harlan Kelly. Aab joins from Beggars Group, where she spent the past two years as Radio Promotions Director. Prior to that, she worked in college radio promotions with Team Clermont, and she was the GM & PD of her college station, WKNC/Raleigh.

Aab (pictured) succeeds Hannah Carlen, who was recently named U.S. Marketing Director. “Bri is a go-getter of the highest order,” Carlen said. “Fearless, innovative and creative in her work with stations and programmers across formats. It’s no secret how much I love radio and this department. I wouldn’t have accepted anything less, but I couldn’t ask for anything more. Brace yourselves!”

Aab said, “I’ve admired the folks at Secretly Group since I was in college. It’s such a supportive team and staff, and they truly care about all of their incredible artists. I’m very excited to get going! Hannah Carlen and Harlan Kelly are two of the most beloved figures in radio — and there’s a good reason for that!” Aab is based at Secretly’s New York office and can be reached at bri@secretlygroup.com.
