Award-winning PR firm Sacks & Co. has expanded its Nashville team, promoting Catherine Snead to Senior Director and hiring Jessica Vandergriff as Associate. The news comes on the heels of the company’s Carla Sacks being named Publicist of the Year at the 2025 CMA Touring Awards.
Sacks shares, “I’m incredibly thankful and inspired to work with this best in class team. For us, Nashville has been a 15 year town and I wouldn’t change a single minute. Our artists are legends and we’re so proud and grateful to stand side stage.”
Executive VP Asha Goodman adds, “Catherine has been an absolute force in our Nashville office since 2017. It’s been a joy working beside her and watching her continued growth and success.” She continues, “We are so lucky to have Jessica join our team⎯she’s already made such a positive impact and is a wonderful addition to our office here.”
A native of Richmond, Virginia, Snead moved to Nashville in 2017 after graduating from the University of Virginia to pursue a career in the music industry. She started working as a publicist at Sacks & Co. shortly after arriving in Nashville and has since spent her entire professional career to date with the company, working with artists across genres.
Vandergriff earned a degree in Public Relations from Western Kentucky University and moved to Nashville in 2020 to pursue a career in music publicity. She started at Post Hill Press, managing PR efforts for authors across various genres. In 2021, she joined 117 Entertainment, where she spent three years refining her skills and building industry relationships. In the summer of 2024, she joined Sacks & Co. as a publicist.
