Kate Bowling has joined The Core Entertainment as Director of Creative.

In her new role, Bowling will lead all visual branding and creative direction across the management, label and publishing company, overseeing everything from photo shoots and music videos to digital content and long-term creative strategy for The Core Records roster.

I’m excited to step into this role and continue building compelling visuals and creative worlds for our artists that elevate their music and help them connect with fans everywhere.”

Bowling will work closely with The Core’s roster of artists, which includes Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, Josh Ross, Hannah McFarland and Nickelback.
