Missing Piece Group has promoted Brett Loeb to Label Manager of Missing Piece Records, Michelle Steele to Director of Publicity for Missing Piece Group’s Nashville branch, and Joe Sivick to General Manager of Missing Piece Group.
“In the 11 years that Missing Piece has been in business, much of our staff has come on board very early in their careers, gathering knowledge and becoming experts in their field, while supporting and training younger team members. That supportive environment has helped foster their personal growth and led to these promotions,” says Missing Piece Group CEO/Founder Michael Krumper.
Loeb, who joined the team in 2014, has seen the label side of Missing Piece become an increasing focus. Over the years, he has led much of the operations, marketing, and project management for label releases under Missing Piece Group. In this new role, Loeb will oversee the growth of the label division, directing all aspects of campaigns for Missing Piece Records while also continuing to work with publicity and marketing clients.
Steele, a Nashville native, has spent her career as a publicist. In her new role, she will represent Missing Piece Group in the Nashville area as they continue to grow in Music City and expand their presence in town.
Sivick has been with the company nearly since its inception, this year marking his ninth year at Missing Piece Group. In his new role, he will help steer Missing Piece Group as it continues to expand and will continue to stay involved with all aspects of the company’s publicity campaigns.
Songs For Sound Unveils New Care Team, Encourages Continued Support From Partners
Nashville-based 501(c)3 Songs for Sound will launch their newly developed Care Team to help with educating, encouraging audiology, booking appointments, prepping patients for appointments, and caring for them for life. The Care Team will work alongside the non-profit’s many service-based programs, which includes The Hear the Music Project and Tour and their Hearoes Tour for Veterans.
Songs for Sound founder Jaime Vernon and Director of Partnerships & Audiological Advancement Miranda Weidle recently requested continued support from hearing technology industry partners. To-date, those partners have helped Songs for Sound serve over 27,000 people as they work towards their goal of serving 250,000 people by 2025.
“This announcement comes at a time when the hearing technology industry is extremely competitive and is collectively challenging the narrative by finding new ways to better serve Americans with better technology and improved customer service,” Vernon said in a letter to partners. “In the spirit of competition, we want to continue supporting capitalism by giving consumers the right to choose the best audiologist, best technology and for them to know how affordable it already is.”
Songs for Sound was born out of Vernon’s passion to help others bridge the gap between thinking you have hearing loss to connecting people with the right services to get the help they need. To learn more about Songs for Sound’s mission, click here.
