IB tease: Janick

FUELED BY TALENT: The hiring of John Janick as IGA President/COO brings an indie-label entrepreneurial look to the big major, notes HITS’ industry insider I.B. Bad in his latest column, posting Friday morning. This rising star has skillfully used alternative marketing to break acts below the radar dating back to Fall Out Boy’s initial breakout on his Fueled by Ramen. It's a bold move to bring in a major player from the outside. The question on everyone’s minds is, how big an impact will Janick have on the company and how soon will it be felt? Janick’s deal is up end of 2012; will Warner let him out sooner? (6/28a)
