Sony Music Nashville has appointed Meg Kehoe as head of media, following the recent announcement that Sony Music Nashville’s longtime senior vp of media and corporate communications Allen Brown will retire June 30.
Kehoe, who will relocate to Nashville, Tenn. and start in the role on July 5, will oversee press strategy for both Sony Music Nashville and its artist roster and will be responsible for the label group’s media team. Kehoe will report to senior vp of marketing Jennifer Way.
Kehoe, a 2008 graduate of Fordham University, has held senior media relations roles at RCA Records for 14 years, working with artists including P!NK, Pentatonix, Kelly Clarkson, Ray LaMontagne, Jimmy Eat World, Fousheé and most recently Tate McRae. She has also worked on campaigns for artists including Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Cam, Backstreet Boys, Elle King, Kane Brown and Tenille Townes, and has been among those leading the label’s external media storytelling and strategy surrounding RCA’s Grammy submissions, Clio Awards, ACM Awards, CMA Awards and more.
Way said via a statement, “Meg is a dynamic leader and one of the most diligent media executives I’ve ever known. She is highly respected and trusted by her artists, managers, industry colleagues and partners alike. I am confident that her passion for country music combined with her diverse experience and knowledge across multiple genres will serve our team and artists well, and I’m thrilled to welcome her to the Sony Nashville Family!”
Kehoe added, “I’ve been a fan of country music for as long as I can remember. I’m excited to further expand the profiles and reach of the company’s artist roster and am grateful to Sony Music for supporting my career growth with this new role as part of the team in Nashville.”
