Background

About Charley Johns

I love PR. I love creativity and innovation and above all, I love entertainment. I have been lucky enough to combine these over the past 16 years in both my previous role as the Head of PR, UK for the world’s leading live entertainment company, Live Nation and now, having moved to Los Angeles, in my current role as Director of PR for transatlantic, specialist agency Cosa Nostra PR.I could tell you here about how motivated, enthusiastic and passionate I am, but whilst I am all of these things in abundance, I’m someone who takes great pride in doing things differently. I’m driven by challenges and the opportunity to solve a problem. I like to implement great ideas rather than talk about them. I value growth over never making a mistake and I appreciate accountability, achievement and teamwork more than personal accolade. I have lead my team and external agencies with this ethos on every campaign I've run. Whether it’s working with brand partners to gain high media traction for festivals & events, running pitches to find the best agency and ideas for a brief, designing and creating compelling content for sell in, leveraging media partnerships, activating blue sky ideas such as a dedicated TV show for Download Festival or large scale tour launch events for artists ranging from Mötley Crüe and Motörhead to Britney Spears and Rihanna, opening night parties, celebrity influencer outreach, press junkets and promotional trips. Regardless of the project, artist or event I bring the same level of creativity, out-of-box thinking and commitment to make everything I work on the best and most effective it can be.
