Creative Nation has hired Anna Blake Pearson as Manager, Management and Records and promoted Brandon Gill to Senior Vice President, Management and Records.

Pearson graduated in 2018 from the University of Alabama with a degree in Public Relations. Following graduation she worked for the Country Music Association in Community Outreach until shifting gears to become a Production Assistant on the road for Old Dominion. As a Manager on the Management and Records team, Pearson will oversee day-to-day responsibilities for the Creative Nation artist clients.

Pearson will report to Gill, who will continue to lead the Management and Records division in overseeing the artists’ careers and securing outside opportunities.

“Anna Blake brings a passion for artists and creatives that’s infectious. Her collaborative spirit and past experience will be a vital asset to our Management and Records team as we continue to serve our artists. We are excited to welcome her to the Creative Nation team,” Gill says.

“I have really enjoyed working alongside Brandon Gill these past five years and look forward to expanding our artist development, management and records partnership. His experience and leadership has made such a positive impact on our team and the service we provide our CN songwriters and artists,” adds Co-Founder and CEO, Beth Laird.

Creative Nation, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this year, has celebrated 20 No. 1 songs, over 60 radio singles, and songs recorded by Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, John Legend, Maren Morris, Tim McGraw, Ingrid Michaelson, Blake Shelton, Harry Styles, Carrie Underwood and many others.
