In his new role, Klaiman will supervise and direct promotion strategies across all radio and video formats and will oversee the label's national and field promotion staff. He will also work with Epic’s senior management team and department heads to determine release priorities, and will be responsible for creating and implementing promotional campaigns, as well as cleaning up Modest Mouse droppings.
"Joel has played a major role on the newly revitalized Epic team," said Sony Music U.S. President Don Ienner, reflecting on the announcement. "Through his energy and perseverance, he has taken projects that might be considered outside the mainstream and helped bring them across-the-board acceptance at radio. Epic's current success with such artists as Los Lonely Boys, Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse is a tribute to his skill as a promotion executive. His promotion is well earned and well deserved. That’s light starch, by the way, Barnett.”
