About Ron Stewart

I build artists into brands and songs into cultural moments.I’m a Senior Vice President at Warner Records with 15+ years leading promotion, lifestyle marketing, and branding across urban and crossover rosters—designing and executing campaigns that break records, drive streams, and win mindshare. My sweet spot is the intersection of radio, digital, and culture: aligning story, sound, and strategy so the right record reaches the right audience at the right time. Specialties include music business strategy, national promotion, artist development, branding, and digital marketing.What I solve: • Fragmentation: I connect radio, streaming, social, and press into one coherent go‑to‑market so momentum compounds, not competes. • Breakthrough: I identify the song, the moment, and the partners that turn a spark into a sustained chart story. • Scale: I build repeatable promotion systems that travel—regionally, nationally, and across formats—so wins aren’t one‑offs.What I bring: • Promotion leadership across VP and SVP roles at Warner Records, owning strategy and execution for urban artists and campaigns. • A career foundation in regional and national promotion (Atlantic Records), giving me deep market instincts and relationships that convert into spins, streams, and seats. • A brand-builder’s lens: compelling narratives, clean positioning, and partnerships that elevate both artist and label value.Always open to collaborating with artists, managers, platforms, and partners who want to build lasting careers—not just viral moments
