• Industry pro Paul Williams has been named VP of Marketing/Artist Development of the Reviver Entertainment Group, effective Jan. 1. He will transition from his current role as Radio Editor for Country Aircheck. In making the announcement of Williams’ return to the Reviver fold, Reviver Founder, President/CEO David Ross said, “Paul’s diverse background gives Reviver and its artists an out-of-the-box thinker who has a deep understanding of the marketplace. He’s a brilliant creative mind whose expertise and leadership will ultimately benefit not only our staff, but most importantly the artists with whom we work.”
