RIPTIDE MUSIC GROUP (RIPTIDE) has named JANINE KERR Creative Dir. and TAYLOR AMAZAN Creative Manager for Trailers, as well as promoted RICHARD HELLSTERN to VP/Operations. The personnel expansion follows the company’s Fall 2017 partnership with MARK ROSS, who brought in a multi-million dollar investment to finance the future growth of the business.
“It’s a very exciting time for us right now at RIPTIDE,” Pres. RICH GOLDMAN said. “Working with MARK ROSS has further energized our business and allowed us to pursue a number of exciting opportunities, while also hiring some of the best talent out there. We are delighted to welcome JANINE and TAYLOR to our growing team, and to announce Richard’s well-deserved promotion.”
Previously, KERR was VP with FOX SPORTS MUSIC, while AMAZON was a Music Supervisor and Music Producer with ANT FARM. “I am excited to grow our team!" RIPTIDE VP/Creative DAN SILVER said. "JANINE and TAYLOR have amazing resumes and talent, bringing years of solid music industry experience across several mediums. In addition to their film and TV backgrounds, they also have strong relationships with artists around the world. We anticipate big things in the coming months now that they are both onboard. RICHARD’s new position has provided more structure within the core of the company, helping to grow our business development plans.”
“RICHARD HELLSTERN has proven to be an invaluable member of the team and a natural leader," CEO KEATLEY HALDEMAN said. "We couldn’t be happier we are promoting him and that he has agreed to take on this responsibility. The company is much stronger with RICHARD directing operations.”
