Speaking about the appointment, Satellite414 founder/CEO Carl Fysh said: “I am extremely proud to announce that Tom Mehrtens has been promoted to director of music here at Satellite414. It’s a key belief here that the company is built on the talents of the staff who work here, and this could not be more true regarding Tom. Starting as an intern, they have worked consistently, building and growing as a publicist. As well as working alongside me with Beyoncé, they have also nurtured a considerable roster of groundbreaking LGTBQIA+ artists and clients including Chappell Roan, Munroe Bergdorf, Rina Sawayama and Pablo Vittar as well as a variety of other incredible artists including Chloe Qisha, Yaeji, Jerksin Fendrix and Eartheater.”
