Veteran public relations strategist Brian Bumbery – who has worked with Metallica, Green Day, Chris Cornell and Madonna and spent eight years at Warner Bros. Records, before launching his own BB Gun Press firm in 2011 — has joined Apple as the director of publicity for Apple Music, reports Variety.
Before joining Warner Bros. in 2002, Bumbery was a partner at the independent PR company Score Press, where he worked with Dashboard Confessional, Pet Shop Boys, Saves the Day, and others. He also represented the independent label Vagrant Records. Bumbery’s appointment at Apple isn’t a surprise, as his firm, particularly longtime associate Sam Citron, has been working with Apple Music for many months, according to Variety.
