PM Music Center Welcomes New Marketing Manager
Nicole Szopinski
PM Music Center, a B&O retailer based in Aurora, Illinois, has named Nicole Szopinski its new marketing manager. Szopinski will lead PM Music’s marketing efforts, including strategy, branding, marketing communications and social media.
Szopinski brings a combination of experience as an educator, musician and marketing professional. She has been an elementary school teacher in Taiwan as well as the U.S. and played euphonium from middle school through college, including with the Fightin’ Gator Marching Band at the University of Florida. Most recently, she led marketing campaigns, community outreach and events for a local private school.
“I know the realities of what it takes to run a successful school music program and a successful marketing effort,” Szopinski said. “I’m all about music education, and I joined PM Music because this team is focused on giving educators and students the instruments and support they need. I’m excited to be part of it, tell our story and support Chicagoland’s school music community.”
“Nicole is a great addition to our already talented team,” said Lewis Shender, president of PM Music Center. “She understands music, education and marketing, and she’s curious and imaginative. Nicole will be a great fit for PM Music and the educators and school music programs we service and support every day.”
