Downtown Music Holdings has appointed Molly Neuman to the new role of Chief Marketing Officer, in which she will oversee marketing and communications initiatives across the wider Downtown group of companies.
She moves over to the group role from her previous job as President of Downtown's publishing administration service Songtrust, which she joined - originally as Global Head Of Business Development - back in 2017. The Songtrust division will now be overseen by Global Head Of Client Relations Rob Wetstone and VP Marketing Susanne Dawursk.
Confirming Neuman's new role, Downtown CEO Andrew Bergman says: “Over the past five years, Molly has led Songtrust through a period of dramatic growth, establishing the company as one of the largest and most successful independent music publishing administration services in the world”.
“As we continue our global expansion through our powerful suite of services available to the music industry”, he continues, “Molly’s skills as a communicator, evangelist and a leading voice in our industry will serve her well in this important new role".
Meanwhile, Neuman herself adds: “My time at Songtrust developing and growing our offer of global music publishing administration services to the traditionally overlooked community of creators has been incredibly rewarding. I am grateful to Andrew and Justin for entrusting me with this larger role as we continue to refine our offerings at Downtown".
"I have no doubt that Rob and Susanne will brilliantly carry on our work at Songtrust", she goes on. "I am equally proud of our entire group of companies at Downtown and am absolutely THRILLED to begin my next chapter making sure our excellence is well understood and recognised".
