Erik Stein brings his specialized publicity knowledge and extensive experience, covering a wide variety of music genres, to Scoop Marketing. Stein’s music practice at Scoop covers concert events and album releases in the realm of alternative, indie, rock, country, hip-hop and pop music. Artists represented (or previously handled) in those areas include blink-182, Bon Jovi, Clint Black, Creed, KISS, Steely Dan, The Monkees and Weezer, just to name a few. Additionally, Stein handles corporate publicity for entertainment companies, plus oversees the media relations efforts on behalf of the firm’s technology clients.
Prior to Scoop, Stein was employed for more than a decade by the Universal Music Group, starting in 1995 as Manager of Publicity for MCA Records and rising to Senior Director of Publicity at Geffen Records. At UMG, he represented a wealth of successful acts, including blink-182, DJ Shadow, Live, New Found Glory, Papa Roach, Rise Against, Rob Zombie, She Wants Revenge, Sublime, Tommy Lee, and more. Stein is also credited in being integral in the company’s establishment of a joint-venture with successful indie label Drive-Thru Records.
After Geffen, Stein opened his own boutique PR firm, Arsenal PR. In December of 2006, he closed Arsenal PR to join Scoop Marketing; a firm he feels reflects the artist-driven ideals he strives to achieve.
