Molly Neuman promoted to CMO of Downtown Music Holdings - Music Business Worldwide

Downtown Music Holdings has promoted Molly Neuman to the newly created position of Chief Marketing Officer of the company.
In her new role she will oversee marketing and communications initiatives across the breadth of Downtown’s global group of owned and operated music companies.
 
Neuman most recently served as President of Songtrust, the world’s largest and most accessible global publishing administration service.
She joined Songtrust in 2017 as Global Head of Business Development and was elevated to President in 2019.

Under Neuman’s leadership, Songtrust has grown to represent more than 3 million copyrights for more than 350,000 writers in 145 countries, as well as tens of thousands of business clients, including record labels, distributors and boutique publishers.
With her departure, Rob Wetstone and Susanne Dawursk who lead Revenue and Marketing at the company respectively, will oversee Songtrust.

 
Prior to joining Songtrust, Neuman was Head of Music at Kickstarter and Interim President and Vice President of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM).
She’s held senior roles in label relations and licensing at digital music services, in addition to serving on the boards of Music Biz, SoundExchange and A2IM.
Neuman got her start as the drummer for the influential Riot Grrrl band, Bratmobile, and Downtown says she has remained “a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion within the music industry”.
“As we continue our global expansion through our powerful suite of services available to the music industry, Molly’s skills as a communicator, evangelist and a leading voice in our industry will serve her well in this important new role.”
