Kartel launches PR division
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 30 April 2015
Label services company Kartel Music Group has launched a new PR division, which is to be run by Hugo Simpson, former Head Of Online at MBC PR. The department will work across online, print, TV and specialist radio.
Kartel CEO Charles Kirby-Welch said in a statement: “Promoting artists and records is in our DNA so creating a PR department feels like a natural step. We’re excited to welcome Hugo to the team and looking forward to taking a progressive approach to PR whether that’s reaching outside of the typical record lifecycle or working a cross section of media”.
Simpson added: “It is very exiting to be part of a company that are at the forefront of the label services in the music industry. The PR team will be dedicated to providing a personal, efficient and bespoke service, as is the mantra of the whole team”.
Clients at launch include Fatboy Slim and Emilie Nicolas.
