ABOUT JEN FRITZ
Raised on a crazy mix of her dad’s Willie Nelson records and her mom’s ABBA cassettes, Jen Fritz has been a music lover for about as long as she can remember. Her love of music is what lead to her “first career” in the radio biz, where she started out as an announcer at The River 107 FM in Lethbridge, AB. After working at several different radio stations across Alberta & BC, Fritz landed at SUN FM Group in Kelowna, BC where she was Midday Announcer/MD/APD until she made the move to Vancouver to work in the music industry.
Upon moving to Vancouver, Fritz began her career in the music biz at Nettwerk and New Music West, before landing at Frontside Group as VP of Media Relations. During her 6 years at the helm of the publicity division of Frontside Group, Fritz ran successful national publicity campaigns for many music + entertainment clients, including: Debbie Harry, Nikki Sixx, Said The Whale and the Barenaked Ladies. In 2009, Fritz left Frontside Group and began freelancing her publicity services with a variety of clients including: VANOC, Strut Entertainment and Sony Music Canada, which ultimately led to the formation of her own music publicity and digital marketing firm - Fritz Media.
