Sony Music Nashville has realigned and expanded its promotion teams to include a broader artist development focus on a local and regional level.

Additionally, according to an internal memo obtained by Billboard, the promo teams will work more closely with the marketing staff in such areas as brand partnerships, community engagement, digital activations, content development and other areas.

“These changes allow our artists the most optimum opportunity to grow their brands by having the field team working in tandem with our marketing team in Nashville,” said Steve Hodges, SMN’s executive vp of promotion and artist development, in the memo. “To help drive this broadened approach, a senior director of promotion & artist development will now directly support imprint heads on tactical strategies and platform initiatives.”

In the reorganization, the SMN promotion and artist development department now consists of three imprints: Arista Nashville, Columbia Nashville and RCA Nashville.

Hodges declined to comment beyond the internal memo.
