Overview

New Ocean Media is a United States-based public-relations and music-services company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Founded in 2005, the privately held business works across the entertainment industry, serving record labels, recording artists, bands, music supervisors, management companies, radio stations, television and film companies, and music producers. Its activities extend beyond conventional public relations: the company also operates a record label and an artist-management firm, giving it a broader role in the music business than a specialist publicity agency. The company organizes its work through divisions focused on national public relations, tour press, television and film song placement, music-video servicing, radio promotion, artist development, and social-media activity. This combination allows it to support campaigns at multiple stages of an artist or release cycle, from positioning and media outreach to touring, broadcast exposure, audiovisual promotion, and longer-term career development. Its client work has included major and independent record companies, artists, bands, entertainment organizations, and related music-industry businesses. Reported clients have included Warner Music Group, Capitol Records, EMI, Universal Records, Dualtone Records, Glassnote Records, Sony Music, Island/Def Jam, Jive Records, Union Entertainment Group, and Silent Majority Group. The artist and band roster associated with the company has included Motörhead, Clutch, Buckcherry, Nothing More, Dream Theater, Saxon, Red, Asking Alexandria, Adelitas Way, A Day to Remember, Britney Spears, Hinder, Candlebox, Tantric, In Flames, Cinderella, Sebastian Bach, and others. The company has also been associated with performers and entertainment figures including Brian “Head” Welch and Kevin Costner. New Ocean Media’s positioning is therefore centered on integrated music and entertainment communications rather than on a single genre, market segment, or media channel. Its services combine publicity, promotional coordination, placement, artist development, and management capabilities. Publicly available reference material does not provide detailed information about its ownership structure, financial performance, current leadership, specific label releases, or present client roster. Those details should be verified independently before being added to the profile.

History

New Ocean Media was established in 2005 in Birmingham, Alabama, as a public-relations firm serving the music and wider entertainment industries. Its client universe has included record labels, artists, bands, music supervisors, artist-management companies, radio stations, television and film companies, and music producers. This broad client base positioned the company between traditional public relations, music marketing, and entertainment-industry business development. The company developed a multi-division operating model rather than limiting its work to general press representation. Its documented areas of activity include national public relations, tour press, television and film song placement, music-video servicing, radio promotion, artist development, and social media. These services cover both release-specific publicity and longer-running artist support, including efforts related to touring, broadcast exposure, audiovisual promotion, and audience engagement. New Ocean Media also expanded its activities beyond agency services by operating a record label and an artist-management firm. The combination made the company a hybrid entertainment business: it could provide communications and promotional services to outside clients while also participating directly in artist and repertoire development and management. Available reference material does not identify the label’s release catalog, the management division’s current roster, or the corporate relationship among these activities. The company’s reported client history includes large music groups and labels such as Warner Music Group, Capitol Records, EMI, Universal Records, Sony Music, Island/Def Jam, and Jive Records, as well as independent or specialist labels including Dualtone Records and Glassnote Records. Its reported artist and band associations span rock, metal, alternative, and mainstream acts, including Motörhead, Clutch, Buckcherry, Nothing More, Dream Theater, Saxon, Red, Asking Alexandria, Adelitas Way, A Day to Remember, Britney Spears, Hinder, Candlebox, Tantric, In Flames, Cinderella, and Sebastian Bach. Other named associations include Brian “Head” Welch, Kevin Costner, Union Entertainment Group, and Silent Majority Group. Publicly available reference information describes New Ocean Media as a privately held corporation with offices in Birmingham, Alabama. It does not supply verified details about founders, executives, ownership, revenue, investment, acquisitions, public listings, or subsequent corporate changes. Accordingly, the company’s documented history is best understood as the development of a Birmingham-based, integrated music and entertainment publicity platform with supplementary label and artist-management operations.
