10 Questions with ... Meredith McCarson1. Though you’re newer to the promotions world, you’ve been part of the music industry for a bit. What got you into the industry and what roles had you taken on prior to joining the PLG promo team?
I have always had a desire to help people in the music industry and after 3 summer internships I was able to make some amazing connections that have led me to working in this business. My previous music industry roles have mostly been in the field of sales. I have been a Regional Account Manager for Brentwood Benson Music Publishing and Sales Representative for Word Music Church Resources.
2. Was your goal always to work in the CCM realm? Had you ever considered another career path, prior?
I remember taking a family trip to Nashville when I was 16 and told my dad there was something special about music row. I was so intrigued with the music industry and knew I wanted to work in it someday. With the help and encouragement of many in the business - the Lord then opened doors for me to be a part of this industry and move to Nashville. I love promoting anything I believe in and music is one thing that is very special to me.
