Following the news earlier this month that 14th Floor founder Christian Tattersfield is to become CEO of Warner Music UK, there's news today that former Virgin Records and WEA Records MD Jeremy Marsh will become his number two as Vice-Chairman of the major label division.
Marsh has most recently headed up his own consultancy advising artists and brands interested in working with music, and it may be the latter experience that was of most interest to the increasingly brand partnership focused Warner UK.
Confirming the appointment, Tattersfield said this: "Jeremy is one of the most accomplished, respected and multi-talented music executives in the UK, with a long-standing track record in nurturing new talent to stardom and amplifying the popularity of world famous names. His passionate commitment to artists is coupled with a deep understanding of how to capitalise on the myriad new ways to connect with a fan base, further strengthened by his recent experience in the fields of digital technology and artist partnerships".
