Just what led to the departure from EMI is a source of discussion, though
one well-placed source pointed to a growing level of discomfort among top
EMI brass over the extremely high-profile Cohen. The charismatic executive
has become a fixture at nearly every digital conference and event around the
globe, commanding high levels of attention and headlines throughout.
Additionally, a sharp-witted, accessible demeanor and forward-leaning
approach have helped Cohen become a darling of the mainstream press, a
development that may have constituted a double-edged sword for a more
reserved EMI. Meanwhile, many within the industry were well aware of the
pending departure, even down to the date.

TAG Strategic is currently scouting staff, and interested parties can
contact ted@tagstrategic.com or gary@tagstrategic.com. A more general
mailbox is also available at info@tagstrategic.com. More details will be
revealed during the week.

Additionally, I can’t say I’m surprised at Jason Hirschhorn’s departure either. Although I do not know him, it is hard for me to imagine how challenging it would be to push MTV further into the digital space. If their new “Urge” music service is any indicator or the company’s digital ambitions then MTV could be on a slow and painful donkey ride to failure in the space.
