Ben Cook, Atlantic UK President said: “Today’s attention economy sees us and our artists compete for share of audience with not only other acts and labels, but also with content in all its forms.

“Our new structure, with the addition of extra Creative verticals, allows us to produce both purposeful and compelling content that’s worthy of our talented roster, and helps push the boundaries of our artists’ storytelling.”

“We constantly appraise our value offering to artists and partners, and I have worked together with Katie and the senior team to form a dynamic, bold leadership structure at the label.
