Cosa Nostra PR hires Charley Bezer for US expansion
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 22 September 2017
UK rock and metal PR agency Cosa Nostra has announced its expansion into the US with the hiring of Charley Bezer, who is now based in LA.
Commenting on the new hire, Kirsten Sprinks, who co-founded the agency with Michelle Kerr, says: “This is the natural evolutionary step for Cosa Nostra to take; allowing us to deliver market-specific campaigns for our clients and still maintain a cohesive message. The challenge was always how to achieve it whilst maintaining the high standards and exceptional results that we have a hard-earned reputation for”.
She goes on: “Having Charley on board allows us to achieve that and so much more. Charley’s experience and skills in the industry, combined with exactly the kind of love for the heavy music genre that Cosa Nostra was founded on, make her the perfect person to represent us and our clients. I’m delighted to have her working with us”.
Bezer adds: “I couldn’t be more honoured to have been asked to work with Michelle and Kirsten overseeing Cosa Nostra’s US expansion. They are two of the very best in our profession. Their roster speaks for itself and they share my vision for what music PR can and should be”.
She adds: “Having offices on both sides of the pond means Cosa Nostra will be in the unique position to provide clients with truly aligned campaigns, with one team spanning both territories, able to offer a forward thinking alternative to traditional and somewhat dated music PR offerings. We feel it’s time for the game to change and I cannot wait to get started”.
Sprinks and Kerr launched Cosa Nostra in 2012, following the closure of Roadrunner Records’ UK office. Bezer was formerly Head Of PR at Live Nation UK.
