Behind the Scenes Executive Salute


Megan Tully
Administrative Assistant, Violator Management

 

During her final semester at Chatham College, a small women’s college in Pittsburgh, PA, where she earned a double degree in English and Cultural Media Studies, Megan Tully began her career as an intern at WAMO. After three months as a member of the Promotions Department street team she was offered the position of Assistant Marketing Director. It was here that she learned the intricacies of an urban radio station through the various events and promotions she helped to produce. At WAMO she began to hone her skills in devising and executing marketing plans to promote the station and its staff within the community. She was pivotal in creating the first annual women’s conference hosted by the station and assisted in implementing a quarterly entertainment newsletter in addition to her varying other duties. Additional responsibilities included overseeing the ten member street team, a constant reminder of how she herself got attracted to this industry.

 

Deciding to return to New York City, where she spent most of her childhood, Megan re-located and soon began to work for MJI Broadcasting, a radio syndication and programming boutique company, part of Clear Channel Worldwide. Working for MJI/ Clear Channel, Megan served as Project Manager for the Sales and Operation Departments. She learned a wealth of information pertaining to the business side of radio while acting as liaison between a nationwide sales team of fifteen and by being the main contact person for all radio station affiliates needing assistance.

 

While working at MJI/Clear Channel Megan was called on by friends and colleagues to assist in creating promotional ideas for various artists. These opportunities brought a new sense of excitement and challenge that helped her to realize what she was passionate about doing. She soon decided that she needed to transition out of radio in order to work more directly with artists. It was time for her to utilize her creative talents to their full capacity while assisting an artist in reaching their greatest potential.

 

Shortly after leaving MJI/ Clear Channel as a result of a company merger, the opportunity to make this transition presented itself. In April 2002, with the assistance of a NABFEME mentor, Shelia Jenkins, Megan began interning at Violator Management for Mona Scott and Donna Moore. Violator, home of artists such as Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Tweet, Nore, Lil Mo, 50 Cent, and others continues to be a valuable experience and insight to the artist side of the music and entertainment industry. Again, within a few months her enthusiasm and efficiency as an intern earned her the offer of a full-time position working alongside one of Violator’s rising managers and the VP of Marketing & Promotions. At Violator, Megan is responsible for coordinating the daily schedule of artists.

 

Committed to continually expanding her knowledge and skills, Megan Tully is determined to challenge herself and strive for excellence. Approaching her twenty-fourth birthday, this rising young executive remains grounded through prayer and her relationship with family and friends. Her personal goal is to always do her best while following the path God has for her and helping others along the way. Her professional goal is to create and execute the marketing for an album that sells more than one cd per household. Megan thanks the NABFEME organization and its members for their unyielding support and encouragement.
