Welcome to the official site of Jeremy Meyers

My Professional Mission Statement I capture human passions in an authentic and remarkable manner and enable their actionable sharing in order to inform, entertain and inspire people.

What I believe

• Storytelling is a primal, communal, powerful connecting and unifying force
• The internet is the most efficient global tool for sharing stories ever devised
• Interactions based on authenticity, humility, grace and humor are the most valuable, both professionally and personally
• A balanced, well-produced collection of passionate, personal anecdotes is a highly effective method of creating an emotional connection between an end user and any product or experience.

Things I’ve Done

• Been a defendant on behalf of the ACLU in an internet censorship case (1998)
• Been involved in a peer-counseling website featured on the front page of the New York Times (1995)
• Launched the first staff-authored blog of a major label

What I Do All Day:

I am a veteran of the online side of the music industry, starting my career in 1999 at indie TVT Records, launching campaigns for artists such as Lil’ Jon, Sevendust and Ambulance LTD. I moved to Sony Music in 2004 and helped launch MySpace’s Music property in conjunction with rock band Midtown, as well as running campaigns for Crossfade, John Legend and Anna Nalick. After the SONY/BMG merger, I moved over to SONY BMG Masterworks, the Classical, film score and Broadway division, where I’ve worked on campaigns for projects as diverse as Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell, Star Wars, Phantom of the Opera and A Chorus Line.

I currently work as Manager of Content + Fan Relations for the Digital Marketing department of Sony Music’s Commercial Music Group (a collection of labels responsible for reissues, all Sony Music catalog releases older than 18 months, as well as the full collection of Classical, Film Scores and Broadway titles. I am responsible for the design and maintenance of The Legacy Blogs, the industry-leading collection of conversation between labels and fans.
