There are those moments in history that you'll always have etched in your memory. You can recall the exact time it occurred, where you were, what you were doing, and the color outfit you were wearing whenever the memory is brought up. This, my fellow industry friends, is another one of those moments. You'll forever remember when your inbox dinged with a new message telling you that… GRANDSTAND MEDIA & MANAGEMENT AND 2:30 PUBLICITY HAVE MERGED!!!! This exciting news means that after 17 years of working towards becoming what now is one of the premiere music media agencies out there (and the only one named after the best dentist joke ever), 2:30 Publicity will now take on the name Grandstand Media & Management, a company of industry veterans with an already established brand since it's recent launch. With a combined 50 years of experience, Grandstand Media & Management partners Dana Erickson, Kate Jackson, Lisa Gottheil and Meghan Helsel have overseen publicity on a wide scope of projects in the music, non-profit, event, film, literary and political arenas. Originally two companies, Erickson and Gottheil had headed up 2:30 Publicity, a New York based music PR firm established in 1996 and Jackson and Helsel had created Grandstand in early 2012 after leaving their posts at Sub Pop and Jensen Communications respectively. The two companies came together in March of 2013 in order to create a broader suite of services with staff and offices in both New York City and Los Angeles, CA. With a broad array of musical clients from The National, Jackson Browne, Fleet Foxes, Florence + The Machine, The xx, and to Bumbershoot, Seattle Block Party and now Australasia's St. Jerome's Laneway Festival's US debut, and a management branch, the company offers full service campaigns on a national, regional and grassroots online level.
