Music distributor and record label services company Ditto Music has continued its global expansion with the announcement of two key additions to its Australian team.
Frank Varrasso will work out of Melbourne as the Radio Promotions Manager, while Jade Gould will commence the role of Publicity Manager in Sydney.
Varrasso, who started Varrasso PR in 2009, has previously worked in promotions and publicity departments on both a state and national level for labels like EMI and Warner Music, while Gould has over 15 years of experience working in labels at Sony Music Entertainment, including as Director of Promotions, and in the publicity department at BMG Music.
“I'm both thrilled and grateful to have Frank Varrasso and Jade Gould join the Ditto Oz team," Ditto’s Regional Manager Australia and New Zealand, Sarah Hamilton, said.
"With their decades of experience and expertise, I'm really excited about what we can achieve for our artists not only via playlists and distribution, but via press, radio and TV.
"I might be biased but I think we have some of the most exciting and diverse music coming out of Australia right now, and a lot of it has huge global potential which we've seen with artists like Kaiit, Kwame, Louis Baker, and others that Ditto have helped to launch such as Tash Sultana, Baker Boy and Kian.
"It's important for us to have a diverse roster, and to partner with our artists and labels to help them achieve their goals both locally and on a global scale.”
Varrasso said of his appointment, “I’m delighted that Ditto has provided me with the opportunity to work with their talented team.
"I am eager to make a positive contribution to a progressive company which is dedicated to fostering and developing the careers of artists both within Australia and internationally.”
Meanwhile Gould said, “I’m thrilled to be joining Sarah and the Ditto Music family. I look forward to working with the global teams on providing creative publicity campaigns for Ditto artists at all stages of their careers and I’m excited to be involved in the expansion of such an innovative label and music distribution service.”
In addition to these appointments, an Australian Marketing Manager will be joining the Ditto team next month.
