Steve Redmond to lead global communications at BMG
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 26 February 2016
BMG has announced the appointment of Steve Redmond to the role of SVP Global Corporate Communications, overseeing all areas of internal and external comms for the music rights firm, and reporting directly into CEO Hartwig Masuch.
A former BPI exec and prior to that Music Week chief (though we’ve forgiven him for that), Redmond has worked in a communications consultancy role for various music companies and organisations since 2007 including, since 2012, BMG itself. He will continue to advise a small number of clients outside BMG alongside his new role, in particular the Entertainment Retailers Association.
Announcing the new hire, Masuch said: “Whether as a strategist, analyst, commentator or media advisor, Steve Redmond has a unique ability to cut to the heart of an issue, and then make things happen. He brings a vital perspective to our management team”.
Confirming his tip top quality PR credentials by being “delighted” rather than “THRILLED” about his new job, Redmond himself added: “BMG is an extraordinary attempt to create a new kind of music company. Everything I have seen about this company is brave and ambitious and committed to doing the right thing. I am delighted to join them in their quest to offer artists and songwriters a genuine alternative”.
