UNIFIED Music Group has announced the promotion of three of its stars, with Kat Gibbs named the new Head of People and Culture, Kristin Churley the new Head of Legal and Business Affairs, and Julian Marshall named Group Operations Manager.

With their new senior group roles, the trio will support the UNIFIED Music Group ecosystem, which is led by founder and CEO Jaddan Comerford.

Kat Gibbs joined the UNIFIED Music Group team in 2022 as the People and Culture Manager, and, according to a press release, has led the rebuilding of the People and Culture sector “from the ground up.”

Meanwhile, Kristin Churley has enjoyed almost four years at the independent music company, initially joining as a lawyer from the entertainment law firm, Media Arts Lawyers.

Churley provides in-house legal and business affairs support to the UNIFIED team and businesses within the company’s ecosystem. In addition to her role as lawyer and now Head of Legal and Business Affairs, Churley is a Board Observer at PPCA.

Julian Marshall has been with UNIFIED Music Group for over a decade and will take on the newly created role of Group Operations Manager. Since joining UNIFIED as an Artist Manager, Marshall has seen growth within the company, being named the Global Operations Manager in 2020.

Jaddan Comerford said of the trio’s promotions: “It’s fantastic to be announcing these promotions and rewarding the phenomenal work of these talented individuals.

“When we started UNIFIED Music Group in 2011, we could never have imagined working with people as dedicated, focused and inspiring as Kat, Kristin and Julian. Together with the wider UNIFIED team, we are all-in on building the careers of remarkable talent and local artists.”

Comerford added, “It’s such a transformative time for Australia’s music industry, and UNIFIED Music Group continues to be at the forefront of innovation in everything from how we sign and work with artists, to the technology and tools we invest in, create and use. These are the people to help us do just that.”
