ISLAND BRANDS KAUFFMAN AS SVP

Christine Kauffman, most recently a brand partnership executive at iHeartMedia, has joined Island Records as Senior Vice President, Brand Partnerships. Based in New York, she will report to Island COO Eric Wong.

“Her track record at iHeartMedia, Bloomberg and Condé Nast place her in the upper echelon of savvy business developers, with a wealth of experience across global media platforms that will serve us all admirably as she begins her new role at Island,” Wong said.

Prior to iHeartMedia, Kauffman was a senior advertising executive at Bloomberg, Condé Nast's Wired, The Daily Beast and InStyle. She also held marketing and sales positions at EMI Music, Universal Music Group and DreamWorks Records.

Island President Darcus Beese said, “The fast-paced and competitive field of strategic brand marketing has become an important focus of the music industry during the past decade. With Christine’s wide-ranging areas of specialization, it is crystal clear to me that she is the perfect executive to bring Island’s Brand Partnerships operation to the forefront of our industry.”
