Claire Thompson

Claire Thompson is a Los Angeles-based music industry professional, with nearly ten years of experience working in recorded music. Her lifelong passion for rock brought her to her career beginnings as a street teamer while in college, promoting for the legendary venue Chain Reaction and for Fearless Records. From there, she landed an internship at Fearless which led her to her current role as the marketing manager of the label. Her work includes marketing for artists such as August Burns Red, Plain White T's, The Plot In You, From First To Last, Bloodywood, BOYS LIKE GIRLS, LØLØ, Windwaker, and more. She also manages label-branded activations and partnerships.

She takes an artist-first approach to her work, collaborating with her roster directly to help them execute their vision and achieve their growth goals through strategic marketing. She has experience in executing every step of releasing albums and singles alike. This includes planning timelines, working with creatives to build art assets, collaborating with department specialists to maximize campaign returns (such as in radio, publicity, streaming, and sales), constructing marketing campaigns (such as email/SMS marketing, first-party data collection, and social calendars), and more, all while championing her artists' interests in the process.
