Alisann Blood has joined Live Nation and Maverick as senior vp of brand partnerships. In the newly created role, Blood will lead marketing efforts and develop strategic partnerships for brands and the Maverick roster of artists, which includes Madonna, Paul McCartney, The Weeknd, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, among others.

Blood will report to Maverick president Greg Thompson, who commented: “I’m excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Alisann again. She is an innovative executive with a true passion and proven ability to successfully create sensational, new experiences for brands, artists, and their fans.”

Added Blood: “I’ve long admired the team at Maverick and the artists they represent for their progressive vision, constant innovation and ability to shape culture. I want to thank Greg Thompson and Guy Oseary for the opportunity to join this incredible company and can’t wait to contribute to Maverick’s continued success.”
