Jesse Atwell has been upped to Associate Partner at Triple 8 Management, partners George Couri and Bruce Kalmick have announced. Atwell, who's been with the Austin-based outfit for six years, most recently served as SVP of Marketing.

“Jesse started with us six years ago by tackling digital marketing,” Couri declared. “He has since grown to lead a team of 10 marketing professionals helping us grow our artists in both conventional and never-before-achieved innovative strategies. It’s only natural to officially call him what he has become over time: a partner.” He added that, as part of his new duties, Jesse would now be the one to get rid of us whenever we call.

“With Triple 8 Management, George and Bruce have built an innovative, artist-first organization,” said Atwell. “I am elated to be given this opportunity to serve our clients and staff in a deeper, more holistic way. But don't make me talk to those idiots from HITS. Please."
