Official Charts Company hires Rob Copsey as new website editor
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 11 August 2014
Former Digital Spy Music Editor Rob Copsey has been announced as the new editor of the Official Charts Company’s website, ahead of a revamp in the autumn. Copsey will replace Dan Lane, who is leaving to become AXA Insurance UK’s new Social Media And Content Manager.
OCC big boss Martin Talbot says of the site: “OfficialCharts.com has grown from being a modest communications website to become a highly visible, extremely popular pop website for music fans everywhere – driving awareness and recognition of the music industry-owned music brand. To grow from around 350,000 monthly visitors to more than two million in less than three years is staggering”.
He adds: “Much of the credit for this goes to the brilliant work put in by Brand Manager, Lauren Kreisler, and Content Manager, Dan Lane. We are desperately sad to see Dan go, but if anyone can follow and build on his work Rob can – and we are delighted that he is joining us to take OfficialCharts.com to the next level”.
A “thrilled” Copsey says: “I’m thrilled to be joining OfficialCharts.com at such an exciting moment in its journey. The team have done a brilliant job so far and I look forward to building on their work on a brand new site that continues to be authoritative while delivering the very best in all things music”.
