Music executive Cara Donatto, known for managing publicity campaigns for multiple Grammy-winning albums by artists like Bruno Mars and Billie Eilish, has been appointed as the Executive Vice President of Media Strategy for Atlantic Music Group (AMG).

This appointment marks Donatto’s return to Atlantic, where she previously held the position of SVP of Publicity. During her earlier tenure, she collaborated closely with Mars and Janelle Monáe on their successful debut albums and EPs, and also worked with the legendary Missy Elliott.

I am delighted to welcome her back to our new Atlantic leadership team, and I know her many friends at the label are thrilled to see her return.”

I look forward to reuniting with so many remarkable artists I have worked with before, as well as contributing to the growth of the label’s fantastic new signings and collaborating with the AMG team. I want to thank Elliot for this wonderful opportunity. This truly feels like both a homecoming and a brand new adventure.”

Most recently, Donatto served as EVP, Head of Media Strategy & Communications at Interscope Geffen A&M for five years, where she directed media strategy for artists such as Eilish, Dr. Dre, GloRilla, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Reneé Rapp, and Olivia Rodrigo. She also managed the label’s strategies and campaigns for the Grammy and Oscar awards.
