Into the world of music publicity now everybody, and music PR firm EMMS Publicity has announced that Junior Oakes has been promoted to the role of Company Director.
Look, here's a quote from Stephen Emms saying so: "We had our most successful year yet in 2007 - our 7th year in business - working diverse campaigns for artists, venues and brands, including Jill Scott, Urban Outfitters' new music site Urban Amplified, X-Press 2, Kosheen, hit Brazilian venue Guanabara (in WC2), the Dragons' Den spin-off project Mixalbum.com, the One Little Indian label, MOBO winner Akala, Carl Cox, Nate James and countless others. Junior's role is pivotal in the continuing success of our campaigns, client liasion, development of our roster and future business prospects".
Oakes added: "I'm delighted at the opportunities the new appointment brings. A key personal goal is to further develop EMMS' roster: we're fiercely loyal to supporting new music, and will continue to do so, but the last year has seen us work successfully with international brands and huge artists. I want us to investigate all avenues and make 2008 EMMS' strongest year ever".
