The company's new office will be led by A&R veteran Mike Jackson, who will be taking on the role of Vice President, Creative. The Atlanta office will be the company's fifth location within the United States, signifying Sony/ATV's expanded A&R efforts and its continued focus to better serve songwriters by increasing access to its resources and expertise.
