Former PPL comms chief to advise PRS For Music
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 20 March 2015
Former PPL communications chief Jonathan Morrish is to provide PR consultancy to the UK’s other big collecting society PRS For Music, following the somewhat sudden departure of the organisation’s marketing and communication heads, Ben Anderson and Gill Corish, last month. It is thought an overhaul of the society’s marketing and communication activities is now planned.
Morrish, who joined PPL in 2006 after a time working in corporate PR consultancy and, before that, having various comms roles at Sony Music, stepped down from his fulltime role at the record industry’s collecting society last year, but continues to consult to the organisation’s top team.
Confirming that Morrish would now be advising his society on PR matters too, PRS boss Robert Ashcroft said: “I am very pleased that Jonathan has agreed to join PRS where I know his experience and contacts will be very valuable”.
While Morrish added: “I am delighted to be working for PRS For Music in an advisory PR role. I very much look forward to working with Robert as well as supporting Andy Hind and his team in his new position as Acting Head Of Corporate Communications. I shall continue in my consultancy capacity at PPL as the two companies work more and more closely together”.
