Missing Piece Group has announced new promotions and staff hires to the expanding company.
Erik Andersen has been promoted to Senior Director of Publicity, Justin Schmidt has been promoted to Director of Publicity, and Bryan Ros has been added to the Nashville publicity team following his tenure with the Americana Music Association.
“One of Missing Piece’s greatest strengths is the continuity of our team; I’m extraordinarily grateful that as we enter our 12th year of business that many of our executives have been with the company since its earliest days. Both Erik and Justin are seasoned, exceptionally talented publicists, and along with our GM Joe Sivick and head of marketing John Hammond have been essential in making this company what it is today,” explains CEO/Founder Michael Krumper. “At the same time, I’m thrilled for us to be adding a new publicist to our growing presence in Nashville, led by our Director of Publicity Michelle Steele. Bryan’s background working for the Americana Music Association makes him a natural addition to the company.”
“Over the past nine years, I’ve loved watching Missing Piece expand and flourish while also having the opportunity to grow along with it,” shares Andersen. “I’ve had the privilege of working with so many amazing artists, past and present. I look forward to continuing to represent our roster and working alongside this incredible staff.”

“I’m thrilled to join such a collaborative and hard-working team,” says Ros. “This is the type of environment where you feel completely empowered in your role, and I’m really looking forward to working with my new teammates to keep building a platform for our clients and for music that deserves to be heard.”
