BEATPORT is bringing back JONAS TEMPEL to be Creative Advisor. TEMPLE, BEATPORT’s Co-Founder/CEO from 2003-2010, will work with current CEO ROBB MCDANIELS on the company’s brand and marketing strategies, focusing on new products and initiatives in 2019.
“JONAS and I have known each other for a long time, since the early days of BEATPORT and INGROOVES MUSIC GROUP when we were close partners on the content side,” MCDANIELS said. “JONAS has a unique perspective on DJ culture and knows what it takes to work with our community to introduce a new DJ experience. JONAS’ keen eye for design, knowledge of comprehensive marketing campaigns and belief in the BEATPORT brand will further help us achieve our ambitions goals for 2019 and beyond.”
“My love and passion for the DJ culture is only matched by my desire to see BEATPORT attain the heights we originally set out to achieve when we launched the company in 2004,” TEMPEL said. “BEATPORT was built for DJs, by DJs, and I am thrilled to be working with ROBB and the great team over at BEATPORT, to build a DJ experience for the next generation. BEATPORT is on the cusp of delivering some amazing products for the global DJ community, and I want to do all I can to help them achieve their goals.”
Additionally, the company is planning to launch Beatsource, an “open format” music brand serving hip-hop, pop, R&B and Latin music genres, later this year.
