The corporate affairs practice group encompasses brand strategy, industry engagement and partnerships, communications and PR, digital media and marketing, and government relations and public affairs.

  Werner was most recently Vice President, Head of Global Marketing at Global Citizen, Executive Director for VH1 Save The Music Foundation and Vice President of Consumer Marketing and Music Marketing for VH1 and LOGO. 

Best-in-class industry leaders

  LeVine (pictured, below) was Vice President, Industry Relations at SoundExchange and will transition from his current post into his new role "building strategic brand relationships and fostering alliances that strengthen SoundExchange’s suite of offerings for creators and that advance SoundExchange brand initiatives and impact across tech, music, and entertainment." 

  “SoundExchange is hard at work building innovative technology systems, growing our suite of fintech services and expanding our data capabilities to make the business of music more simple, efficient, and fair,” explained Tejeda. “It’s an exciting time to redefine our corporate affairs group with best-in-class industry leaders as we level-up to meet and surpass the demands of a digital-first ecosystem.”
