RGK Entertainment Group, which includes the Open Road country label and a management operation, announced it has hired Tracy Martin, the former head of consumer and digital marketing for the MuchMTV group in Toronto, as GM.
Martin was with MuchMTV for a decade and was hired initially to launch the MTV brand in Canada. She led the creation of MTV2 in Canada, having previously worked at the CMT television channel in marketing and production.
"[Tracy's] limitless energy, passion and industry insight has always impressed me since her days with CMT and recently with MTV and Much Music," said Ron Kitchener, chief executive officer of RGK Entertainment in Toronto. "Tracy is the ideal person to come on board and strategize with me as we continue our efforts toward a new chapter of creative artist development."
