Industry veteran Donna Hughes has joined Borman Entertainment as VP of Touring/Communications. Reporting to SVP of Tour Marketing & Radio Donna Jean Kisshauer, Hughes will work on numerous aspects of tour marketing as well as radio outreach.

Prior to joining Borman Entertainment, Hughes spent 13 years at UMG Nashville, most recently serving as National Director/Radio Marketing.

“When the opportunity to join Borman Entertainment arose, I decided this was the perfect place to utilize my experience in new and innovative ways. Borman Entertainment will afford me the chance to grow and learn in ways I never thought possible,” she shares. “To be able to continue to work with Keith Urban and Tyler Hubbard, the Borman team and my friends at UMG Nashville—in a different capacity—is a dream come true.”

“We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add Donna’s experience and perspective. The depth of her knowledge and passion will provide great value and creativity to every facet of what we do,” says Borman Entertainment CEO/Owner Gary Borman.

At UMG, Hughes worked with syndicated radio, gathered and coordinated artist content and was involved in marketing campaigns and expanding the reach of artists such as Borman Entertainment acts Urban and Hubbard as well as Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Jordan Davis, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Brothers Osborne and more.

She previously served as Executive Producer of the nationally syndicated radio program GAC Nights: Live From Nashville; Senior Producer for Premiere Radio Networks; morning show talent for Nashville’s Rockin’ Country 102.9 and Talent Coordinator for TNN’s Crook & Chase and Music City Tonight. In 2006, Hughes received the prestigious CMA Media Achievement Award.

In addition to Hughes’ appointment, Borman Entertainment has also promoted Nikki Abbamont to Sr. Marketing Manager and Katie Mangan to Management & Marketing Coordinator. Both have been with the company for two years and work with all the artists on the roster.
