GARDNER TAKES ROOT AT MAVERICK

Meredith Gardner has left the Capitol Tower for the swanky Beverly Hills digs of Maverick, where she will be Senior Vice President of Digital, reporting to Maverick President Greg Thompson.

Gardner will lead the company’s digital team as well as consult on digital marketing for Maverick’s roster of artists.

“The entire Maverick team is thrilled to welcome Meredith to the family and we look forward to tapping into her wealth of experience to benefit our artists and to continue expanding our aggressive digital strategy,” Thompson said.

Gardner was most recently Capitol’s SVP of Digital Marketing and Product, overseeing the digital division and digital marketing campaigns for Capitol’s artists as well as the rosters of Astralwerks, Blue Note, Harvest, Motown and Virgin. Throughout her career she has managed digital marketing, advertising, technology and web development for artists including Sam Smith, Beck, Migos and Katy Perry.

“I’ve built my career at the intersection of music and digital media, and I couldn't be more excited for this next step with Maverick,” Gardner said. “For musicians, digital platforms are more important than ever, and I look forward to helping both Maverick and our suite of artists pursue the best opportunities possible.”

She has also promised to show Greg how to print out his emails.
