With 24+ years of music industry experience, I launched my own independent consultancy in New York, KR Consults. As a joint US/UK citizen, I love applying my expertise on both sides of the pond with an enthusiasm for creativity, strategy, artist development and connecting with audiences in authentic and meaningful ways.Currently, I'm primarily working for CTK Enterprises / Butterfly Records in the role of VP, Global Marketing for Dolly Parton et al, recently running the Global Marketing campaign for Dolly Parton's 'Run, Rose, Run' album which accompanies the original novel of the same title co-authored by Dolly and James Patterson. The book spent 5 weeks at #1 on The NY Times Bestseller List, and the album debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, and #1 on both the Billboard Top Americana/Folk Albums chart and Bluegrass Albums chart. In 2020, I managed the Global Campaign for the Dalai Lama 'Inner World' project for HitCo Entertainment, resulting in it reaching #1 on the Billboard New Age Album Chart, #4 Top New Artist Album Chart, peaking at #2 on the Global iTunes Album Chart and more. Prior to launching my consultancy, I was the US General Manager for WMA, a full service digital creative agency dedicated to helping talent and brands connect with their target audiences. I was tasked with launching and building the US arm of a global team who create remarkable campaigns across marketing strategy, publicity, creative services, social media, digital advertising and talent partnerships. Before WMA, I worked for Cult Records in NY and at Polydor Records in London. In 2009, I won the Music Week Award for ‘Artist Marketing Campaign of the Year’ for Lady Gaga. I'm also the co-Director of shesaid.so’s NY chapter, and appeared in their Alternative Power List 2019, which featured women who were nominated on the theme of ‘Community’.
