ARISTA POPS FOR PETROPOULOS

Having headed the promo department at Glassnote Records, Nick Petropoulos has joined Arista Records as Senior Vice President, Promotion and Head of Pop and Alternative Radio.

Based in New York, he will report to Executive Vice President of Promotion John Boulos.

In addition to overseeing Pop and Alternative radio promotion, he will help Boulos manage Arista’s promo staff throughout the U.S., working strategically with digital streaming and digital partners to break Arista’s acts locally and nationally at radio.

“Nick will make a huge contribution both to our promotion efforts and to the label as a whole,” Arista CEO and President David Massey said. “He's a strong executive of great talent and vision with an outstanding track record and I'm delighted he has joined our Arista family.”

Petropoulos joined Glassnote Records as Head of Promotion in 2009 after a stint as Associate Director of Alternative Promotion at Sony RED. He expanded Glassnote’s promotion department and oversaw campaigns for the likes of Mumford & Sons, Phoenix, CHVRCHES and Childish Gambino.

“Over the last 10 years, Nick has been instrumental in creating strong promotion teams,” said Boulos. “His great multi-format knowledge along with his strengths in artist development are invaluable.”
