“Rebekah’s depth of experience and the strength of her reputation make her a great addition to our communications team,” said Tanous in a statement released this morning (August 11). “Her global marketing skills coupled with her being one of the best PR experts in the music publishing business is a real win for us,” said Lamberg.
