Songkick Raises $15 Million in New Round of Funding by Access Industries; Announces West Coast Expansion and New VP of Product, Design - Seite 2

Songkick has also recently bolstered its leadership ranks across several offices. Lee Martin, who has worked closely with some of the world's biggest artists on revolutionary digital marketing campaigns including Foo Fighters, Little Dragon, Carly Rae Jepsen, Slipknot, and Cut Copy, will now manage the company's visual design team as its new VP of design, based in New York. Lydia Goldberg, formerly product director for Zoopla, one of the UK's leading property websites, also joins the team as its new VP of product, based in London. While at Zoopla, Goldberg built the company's product function from the ground up, oversaw the launch of innovative search-related products, and led the integration of multiple digital products into a single, seamless platform.

"The disappointment that fans experience when they're unable to see their favorite artist perform live can be very disheartening," Goldberg says. "Songkick has always been focused on ensuring that fans are able to see the artists they love perform, and in this role I'll be focusing on product innovations that will empower artists to engage with their fans in even more enriched ways."

Nick Fishbaugh, previously senior director of global music partnerships for Shazam, recently joined Songkick's business development team in Los Angeles, expanding its West Coast presence. Fishbaugh will report to Stephen Glicken, who was recently promoted to VP of business development for the company and will be responsible for expanding Songkick's reach and partnerships with artists on a global scale.
