EMI have announced that US-based exec Greg Thompson is being promoted to an all new role called Exec VP Marketing & Promotion, which is a depressingly sensible job title, but there you go.
In addition to his current responsibilities overseeing EMI North America's radio and video promotions teams he will now also coordinate product management, tour marketing, consumer insight and interactive marketing, which all sounds like jolly good fun. He'll report to EMI's North America Regional President Colin Finkelstein.
