(NASHVILLE, Tennessee) -- Shamrock Media Group is pleased to announce the addition of respected Christian radio promoters James Riley and Shane Boyd, who will serve as VP of National Promotions and Director of National Promotions, respectively. They join Alan Garrett (AC/Soft AC National Promotions Manager) and Mike Laxton (Rhythmic Promotions Manager) under the direction of Chris Chicago, founder and President of Shamrock Media Group. Together, the all-star team collectively holds more than 60 years of industry experience.
In addition, Shamrock has announced expanded production and music video services, hiring Rhyan Shirley as Video Promotions Manager, and welcoming multi-platinum and Dove Award-winning producer and Grammy Award-winning producer Jeff Savage (tobyMac, Jars of Clay, dcTalk) as Creative Director. Savage will provide in-house mixing and production services to Shamrock’s growing stable of artists and labels.
“I’m incredibly excited to welcome talented and experienced promoters like James Riley and Shane Boyd,” says Chicago. “And while radio promotion has been our bread and butter for nearly a decade, we are equally excited about expanding our offerings to include music video promotion and music production services. Rhyan Shirley and industry veteran Jeff Savage will be a huge asset to Shamrock as we continue to grow.”
