    Capitol Music Group has promoted Jessica Eason to senior vp of marketing and Dante Smith to senior vp/head of Motown Digital. Both executives are teaming with senior vp/head of urban digital Justin Grant — who joined the label last year —  to lead the label’s urban marketing department.

    In a statement announcing the promotions, Capitol Music Group chairman/CEO Tom March said, “Jessica has had a huge impact at Capitol, playing a pivotal role in a number of very successful artist projects. I am excited to see her step into this important role and make even greater contributions to our roster of artists. Together, Jessica, Dante and Justin form a team of marketing all-stars that can help us to super charge our campaigns and help to build and brand true career artists.”

    “Working alongside this incredible team of executives, partners and artists at Capitol during my time at the label has been hugely gratifying,” commented Eason. “I look forward to collaborating with Justin, Dante and the entire marketing team to launch the next generation of artists at Capitol.”

    Since joining Capitol Records’ marketing department more than seven years ago, Eason has developed and executed campaigns for artists such as Doechii, JT (of City Girls), Offset and Quavo. Eason launched her music industry career as a publicist, including a stint with PMK*BNC.

    Prior to being promoted, Smith was named head of Motown Digital last year. During his four years with Capitol Music Group, he has collaborated with Kali Uchis, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, Ice Spice, and Migos, among other artists. He’s presently working on the campaign for Offset’s third studio album KIARI.

    With more than a decade of marketing experience, Grant arrived at Capitol last fall from his prior role as vp of digital marketing and sports partnerships at Atlantic Records. During his Atlantic tenure, he worked on projects artists such as Cardi B, Lil Uzi Vert, A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Youngboy Never Broke Again, the latter of whom he collaborated with on the rapper’s new Capitol release MASA.
