Paul Wright has joined Big Loud Rock as VP of creative strategy. He’ll report to SVP Lloyd Norman.

Wright arrives from Red Bull Records, where he served as director of creative marketing, working with acts like Blxst, Beartooth, Albert Hammond Jr, The Aces, AWOLNATION and more. Prior to that, he started his career at Nettwerk Music Group followed by a tenure at Hopeless Records.

He's also the latest addition to the expanding L.A.-based team, joining recent hires and promotions such as Dave Barbis as SVP of promotion, Nicole Rich as director of promotion and publicity, Delaine Halpin as project marketing manager, Colleen Kennedy as operations manager and Bella DiDomenico as executive assistant to Thompson.

“We are thrilled to have an executive like Paul join the Big Loud Rock team and also to recognize the growth of our staff and the overall team building Big Loud Rock,” said President Greg Thompson.

“Given Greg Thompson and Lloyd Norman's stellar reputation in the industry, joining Big Loud Rock was a no-brainer. The growing roster of amazing artists they've signed to the rock label combined with great team members here has led to the start of something special,” added Wright.

“We couldn't be more excited for an executive of Paul's caliber to assist Big Loud Rock's artists in creating their own bespoke visual worlds. We’re incredibly proud of the talented and thoughtful team being built at Big Loud Rock and the passion they have for our artist roster,” said Norman.
