Beggars’ David Emery to join Kobalt Label Services
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 23 August 2013
Beggars Group’s Head Of Marketing David Emery has announced that he will leave the company after eight years at the end of this week. So today. He’s not hanging about though, from next week he will be known as Kobalt Label Services’ Director Of Marketing.
Writing on his blog yesterday, Emery said: “It’s been a pretty amazing ride over the last eight years. I’ve had the ridiculous fortune to work with some of my all time favourite artists like Radiohead, The White Stripes, Sonic Youth and Queens Of The Stone Age and about a million more. And then there was that whole Adele thing as well. You can’t rest on your laurels forever, though. More importantly, I think everyone needs a challenge; problems to solve, things to change”.
He continued: “It’s a fascinating time for the industry, with digital having finally bedded in and revenue coming from all sorts of different places it seems like the perfect point to take a step back and reconceptualise what a label could and should be, which is exactly what KLS is doing. It’s exciting”.
