"Word Label Group is thrilled to partner exclusively with Promo Only for our digital delivery needs," said Derek Jones, VP of National Promotion at Word Label Group. "This progressive service equips our team to better serve our friends at radio, media and beyond more effectively and efficiently, allowing them to expedite our artists' music and messages to so many."

"We are delighted to have signed this exclusive deal with Word Label Group," added Dean Ernst, director of Promo Only MPE.
